GE LED street lights deliver $146,000 annual savings in Stamford, CT

The city of Stamford, Connecticut recently replaced over 250 high-pressure sodium (HPS) lamps with GE’s Evolve LED Roadway Medium Cobrahead (ERMC) fixtures. Beyond the expected energy savings with LED technology, glare from the light fixtures was a serious consideration in the evaluation process. “When we evaluated the early LED products, we weren’t very happy with the illumination – in particular, the color temperature was in the 6000K range and glare was a major concern,” said Nancy Pippicelli, energy and utility manager for the city of Stamford.
