Leotek LED Luminaire Selected By City Of Los Angeles
October 14, 2009
Over the next five years, as part of a joint project with the Clinton Climate Initiative, the City of Los Angeles is replacing 140,000 street lights with green, energy efficient LED technology. In the largest environmentally friendly LED lighting project ever undertaken by a city, Los Angeles anticipates $10,000,000 in annual energy savings after the initial investment payback period.
After extensive research and testing of several different LED luminaires, Leotek’s luminaire was selected as eligible to participate in a public bid issued by the City to begin the initial process of street light replacement. Leotek was the successful low bidder, and is honored to be able to participate with both the City of Los Angeles and the Clinton Climate Initiative in lighting the way to a greener LA.
