Induction not LED streetlights for Chula Vista, CA, $2M project

Despite LED streetlights superior performance in pilot installations, the city of Chula Vista has initiated a 4,600 streetlight replacement program using induction technology.

A $2,000,000 low interest loan from the California Energy Commission will fund the project.

Chula Vista’s decision was driven purely by economic reasons, not by technology or quality of light. For more details read the story "Rate structure drives Chula Vista, California, to choose induction over LED in $2,000,000 streetlight replacement project".
