Novato, California, tests BetaLED LED streetlights and US Lighting Tech induction streetlights in pilot prior to $382,000 project

The city of Novato, California recently launched a pilot program to test the quality and effectiveness of energy efficient streetlighting for the city’s arterial and collector roadways. The pilot installation includes four LED streetlight fixtures and four induction streetlight fixtures. Based on quality, performance and citizen input, public works officials will make a determination, followed by a recommendation to the city council, on which technology to select for a larger scale installation to begin later in the year. The full scale replacement, of about 650 existing streetlight fixtures, will be funded by a $382,000 award from the Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) program.
