Parking and Pathway, Park City, Utah Above This car lot and pathway lighting in Park City, Utah opted for luminaires with 70-watt LEDs and a 5000K color temperature. The bell-shaped fixtures have cast aluminum dome housings and incorporate an Alzak reflector, producing type 3 cut-off optics. Alzak is a proprietary process licensed and trademarked by Alcoa for the surface treatment of aluminum to make it reflective. LED Retrofit, Haily, Idaho Right This project was difficult to specify, explains Tom Hellen, Haily public works director/ city engineer. ���We have four lanes, plus a center turn lane, as our Main Street, and a dark sky ordinance. Our existing light poles place the bottom of the light at approximately 12 feet above the street. We had been looking to replace our lights to LED, prior to receiving an EPA grant that covered the cost of the retrofit.��� ���Prior to the installation, we were barely lighting up the first lane of traffic. With the new lights, we have pushed that into the two vehicle travel lanes. While we had hoped to include the turn lane in the overall lighting, we would need taller lamp posts to achieve this result, which is too expensive of an option.��� Hellen reports the installation was easy: 32 light fixtures in three days. The retrofit went from 125-watts lamps to 40 watts, which will be a significant savings, despite the low electric rates in Idaho. The grant, based on reducing energy usage and carbon footprint, adds to the savings. Interesting facts: Haily, Idaho (pop. 7,960) sits at an elevation of 5,318 feet. Ezra Pound was born in here (1885), and seven time Grand Slam winner Mats Wilander of Swedish tennis fame makes his home here. PHOTOS: ANP LIGHTING April 2013 47
