Street Lights Cost Too Much
• Street Lights – 35% to 50% of City Electricity Costs– Cost Reduction Absolutely Necessary
• Local Budget Cuts– Limits Municipal Actions
– No Viable Solution Without Federal Grants
• Environmental Concerns– Carbon Footprint Reduction
– Light Pollution Concerns
3
Market Size
• United States– 38,000,000 Street Lights
• Europe– 56,000,000 Street Lights
• Rest of World– 126,000,000 Street Lights
Based on Clinton Initiative Data

5 Minute Installation
1. Remove Photocell 2. Install SLD
3. Program SLD 4. SAVE $$$

VARILUX IS BETTER THAN LEDS
VariLux Street Light Dimmer (SLD)
Energy savings calculated relative to HPS luminaries at various power levels depicted in the chart.
This energy calculation is based on a cost of $0.10 US per KW-Hr & accounts for Power Factor Correction.
Payback Period (P.B.P.) calculated on cost of acquisition and difference in installation labor.
Life Cycle Cost (LCC) Savings based on 10 year maintenance and electricity usage relative to existing HPS
installations and use of standard dimming profiles on a solstice quarter basis.
