The LEDtronics LED Post Top Lamp Solution
LEDtronics recently partnered with Carpinteria, CA to help reduce energy costs and switch from traditional High Pressure Sodium lights to LEDtronics LED lamps on their Amtrak platform and adjoining Linden Avenue. The 150 watt HPS bulbs were replaced by 27 watt LED lamps that have a 50,000 hour life expectancy, over three times as long as the HPS bulb. They are expecting a 66% reduction of energy consumption.
Payback from switching to LED can take as little as one and a half years and save up to 70% on energy and maintenance costs. While HPS lamps may need maintenance every 8,000 hours of usage, a LED post top lamp can last up to 5 years, maintenance free.
- LED post top lamps also reduce light pollution.
- LED lamps use highly directional light that does not bounce around like HPS lamps.
- Each beam pattern can be finely tuned to provide light only where it is needed and not only reduce light pollution but also glares that diminish night vision.
