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.
