The old lighting system used 150 watt High Pressure Sodium fixtures with a magnetic ballast for a total of 200 watts per fixture. The new fixtures are light emitting diode (LED) light engines that use only 102 watts each and can be programmed to use even less depending on the needs of the neighborhood. Additionally, the new fixtures have a dimming capability where they reduce their usage overnight to 50% of the rated wattage when there is little or no traffic. 360 Energy Group assisted the Village in obtaining funding to help offset the cost of upgrading their street lighting as part of the Illinois Energy Now sponsored Metropolitan Mayors Caucus Public Sector Energy Efficiency Program. As part of the program, our staff conducted an energy analysis of the Village’s street lighting and aligned energy saving measures with available state grants that would help reduce the costs of implementation. As a result of installing high efficiency LED fixtures to the Village’s 3,000 existing street lighting poles, the municipality will reduce their energy costs by $227,037 annually
