Outdoor Lighting: August 2008 Archives
The California Lighting Technology Center is developing and demonstrating a high-low HID exterior lighting system
that operates at a low level during unoccupied night periods and at a
high level during occupied night periods. A beta-site demonstration of
Bi-level fixtures is installed at the Mondavi Center in Davis, CA.A bi-level HID exterior lighting system can operate at a low level during unoccupied night periods and at a high level during occupied night periods. Applications will include wall packs, parking lots, and parking garages.
Conceptual approaches, preliminary designs and lighting system prototypes are being developed for two applications: pole-mounted and wall-pack fixtures. The project team is working to refine the design of an HID exterior lighting system with integrated controls. Baseline evaluations of the field test site will be conducted with follow up field demonstrations of prototyped systems.

This set of 12 solar powered LED light fixtures
recharges with direct sunlight, so there is no power required.
Manufactured by Malibu Lighting, these green light fixtures are
constructed of stainless steel so they should hold up to rain and other
outdoor elements.In case you’ve never purchased an LED light fixture, they’re a great green lighting option. Cool-burning LED bulbs last many time longer than incandescents and they use just a fraction of the energy. Many people prefer LED lighting because of the clean, very white glow the lights cast.
Solar lighting is the safest and easiest kind of outdoor lighting to install. Each light fixture contains a scientifically designed solar collector panel that converts sunlight into electrical energy. This energy is stored in highly efficient rechargeable batteries used to light the fixture at night.
Solar lights utilize the latest LED technology and provide sufficient light to mark entrances, accent walkways and steps, and to indicate the location of darkened obstacles at night.
