LEDs in American cities
There seems to be a trend towards energy savings being used as branding for American cities. More and more are implementing solutions that lower energy consumption, and then use this in their marketing strategy. Whatever works!
In Yakima, Washington, LEDs are replacing both traffic signal lamps and traditional 200 Watt HPS lamps. Initial results show savings of over 50%. The 100 Watt LEDs provide ultra-white lights with good color rendering. Also, the new lamps lowers light polution and has a 15-year product life. Read the full article on SmartMoney.com.
As described in a previous entry, similar projects are under way, e.g. in Ann Arbor where they are planning on becoming the first American city to convert 100% of their street light to LEDs. See more here…

“American cities can brand themselves with the AmpLight provided by Amplex A/S. Amplex A/S is the leading provider of energy saving solutions for central streetlight management, where our solution AmpLight is able to save up to 35 % on energy consumption by dimming the light and by more precise burn hours. The AmpLight solution is very cost efficient to install as technical personal only have to install the solution in the control cabinet/feeder pillar - not in every light pole as many competitors require. This lowers the installations costs associated with a streetlight project dramatically - and makes the payback time even shorter !
Many american cities like e.g the city of Chicago have a streetlight network based on control cabinets/feeder pillars, which is ideal for the AmpLight solution. In short - Amplex can offer a solution that helps branding the city and at the same time save energy consumption! That is what we consider as a win-win-win situation!
Contact Amplex to acknowledge how big savings on streetlight management we can offer your city!
