Deco Lighting to Save L.A. County 50% in Energy Costs
Deco Lighting provided a lighting solution that gives Bonelli Park and The County of Los Angeles a combination of immediate energy savings, long term maintenance cost savings, and visually aesthetic benefits.
The spectacular and scenic 2000 acre Bonelli Park in San Dimas, California is located 30 miles east of Los Angeles and offers visitors year-round recreational activities, including hiking, bicycling, swimming, horseback riding, boating and camping. Strategic roadways and parking areas throughout the park used antiquated and unattractive cobrahead streetlighting fixtures with inefficient 400 watt metal halide lamps.
243 existing 400 watt cobrahead fixtures were replaced with Deco Lighting Python D8622i luminaires with 200 watt Induction lamps. Similar light levels were achieved using half the wattage and saving an estimated 50% on utility energy costs.
With 100,000 hour life, the Induction lamps save substantial relamp and maintenance costs versus the metal halide fixtures that required lamp replacement after less than 20,000 hours. Projected annual kWh energy and maintenance savings for The County of Los Angeles are $275,179.
Finished in dark bronze, the Deco luminaires and poles blend beautifully into Bonelli Park's landscape and mountain scenery. Park visitors and staff benefit from the new Deco Induction lighting by providing reliable, instant-on performance with no warm-up delays, superior color rendering, better visibility and enhanced safety.
