High Pressure Sodium (HPS)
LED
Departures Level Curbside- LED Street Lights
The upper level curbside roadway contained twelve 250 watt high pressure
sodium (HPS) street lights that have been around since the terminal’s
construction. As one of the most highly trafficked areas of the terminal, the pilot
project steering committee identified this area as the main attraction for the pilot
project. This component integrates two providers of LED streetlight systems, one
manufacturer, and one provider of an advanced streetlight control
and monitoring software (see profile sheet 3).

The steering committee chose SunEnergy 1, LED Roadway Lighting LTD. (LRL),
General Microcircuits (GMI), and Nexgrid to participate in this component. All
partners were encouraged to collaborate amongst each other to provide a high
quality lighting system with minimal energy usage.

Provider Bios
4 SunEnergy1 SL 160W LED streetlights
8 LED Roadway Lighting LRL’s SAT-M 200W LED streetlights
All 12 lights equipped with Nexgrid’s smartgrid technology
Cree, a North Carolina based company, manufactured the LEDs
used in SunEnergy1’s fixtures
GMI was used to produce selected components of LED Roadway
Lighting’s fixtures. GMI is a global advanced electronics
manufacturing company providing circuit board and integrated
assemblies to manufacturers in diverse industries and applications.
All the new LED lights used in this project are a 5,000K color
temperature
SunEnergy1 is a NC-based full-service solar technology company
and assists in every phase of a solar project including design,
installation and operation. SunEnergy1 also offers design and
installation of commercial and industrial LED lighting systems.
LED Roadway Lighting Ltd. (LRL) is a Canadian manufacturer of
LED street lighting fixtures and control systems. For this pilot
project, we partnered with local Charlotte-metro area
manufacturer General Microcircuits (GMI) to produce our product.
The result of this pilot was an overall improvement in lighting all throughout the
roadway with an average of a 28% reduction in energy usage. Compared to HPS,
LED lights not only provide a higher Color Reflective Index (CRI) enabling
passengers to have better visibility, but also reduced energy usage and a much
longer lasting life that benefits CLT with reduced maintenance and energy costs.
