This report summarizes an LED street lighting assessment project conducted to study the applicability of LED luminaires in a street lighting application. In the first of two phases, the project team took pre- and post-installation measurements in a parking lot owned by the City of Oakland to assess the likelihood of any negative safety impacts from the installation of the LED luminaires on a public street. With no significant concerns so identified, the project progressed to the second phase involving installation on actual public roadways. Quantitative and qualitative light and electrical power measurements were taken on all streets, and economic costs estimated and qualitative satisfaction gauged with a resident survey. This report documents the results of this second phase1. In Phase 2 of the project, fifteen 78 watt LED luminaries replaced a like number of 121 watt high pressure sodium (HPS) luminaires (100 nominal watts) on Sextus and Tunis roads between Empire Rd and Coral Rd in a residential area of Oakland. To allow a variety of comparisons, Sextus Rd was illuminated with fresh HPS luminaires on the eastern half and LED luminaires on the western half, and Tunis Rd was illuminated exclusively with LED luminaires, while the adjacent Cairo Rd was entirely relamped with new HPS lamps. All luminaires have heights of 28.5 above the road surface, with spacings of approximately 110, 120, or 165 between luminaires. Measured results from the study are tabulated in Table ES-1 below. The metered LED luminaire drew an average of 77.7 watts, roughly 35% (43.3 watts) less than the metered HPS luminaire. With an estimated 4,100 annual hours of operation,2 annual electrical savings are estimated to be approximately 178 kWh per luminaire replaced.

Measured illuminance levels under both the HPS and LED luminaires are shown in Table ES-2. The lighting distribution of HPS luminaires is such that they typically over-light the area directly beneath the luminaires (creating hot spots) in order to maintain minimum levels further away. This variance is evident in the measured HPS values listed in the table. As a result, the lower average illuminance levels measured under the LED luminaires do not denote inferior light performance; the LED luminaires maintained minimum light levels across all spacings while significantly reducing uniformity ratios (i.e., increasing overall uniformity) compared to the HPS. The greater uniformity means that overall lighting levels can be reduced from what is required with HPS to achieve significant energy savings. This is even more pronounced when the HPS lamps are new, as they need to account for lumen depreciation or reduced output over the course of their life. Lighting guidelines must consider the maintenance of a minimum illumination level even at the
It is essential to note that the specific results reported, while perhaps characteristic of LED technology in general, still primarily apply to the specific product tested. Readers are urged to use caution in extrapolating these results to other products or lighting situations.

light sources worst point (i.e., its end of life); thus the issue of over-lighting is greatest when the HPS lamps are fresh. LEDs have a much lower lumen depreciation curve over their lifetime in comparison with traditional light sources, so that the need for initial over-lighting is much reduced.

Due to the as yet undemonstrated useful life of these LED luminaires, economic and reliability claims are based on the best available information from the manufacturer and DOE reports. The payback periods in this particular case study are shown in Figure ES-1 using different assumed maintenance scenarios. In this particular study, the estimated incremental cost for installing LED luminaires in a new construction scenario was on the order of $500. The detailed economic analysis is provided in the Economic Performance Section.
Maintenance Savings
$1,100
While the results of this assessment estimated a relatively long payback period for this specific LED street light product under current conditions, payback periods are sensitive to installationspecific maintenance costs and electrical costs. In addition, other performance attributes combined with operating cost savings may be such that longer payback periods are acceptable. These could include various benefits from improved visibility, as highlighted in the Customer Acceptance section of the report that documents the resident feedback on the new LED lighting. The commercial viability of LED luminaires is dependent on a number of factors. Two of the most significant of these are luminaire efficacy and initial cost, and LED technology continues to advance rapidly in both of these respects. Product costs to consumers can also be expected to decrease both as economies of scale are realized and as competition increases in their manufacture. Both of these aspects are encouraged through sales of existing products. Means of reducing costs to consumers in the short term will serve to promote sales and are thus recommended to organizations interested in accelerating the potential energy savings realized from this rapidly advancing technology. The potential for energy savings from LED street lights is very large. It is estimated that 860 GWh of electricity is used annually for roadway lighting in PG&Es service territory, a large share of which is made up by cobra-head luminaires similar to those studied here.6 The LED luminaires used in this study reduced energy by over 1/3 compared to the previous luminaires. As LED technology advances and efficacies improve, these savings will likely improve as well.

Project Background
Project Over view
The LED Street Lighting Assessment project studied the applicability of light-emitting-diode (LED) luminaires on existing street light poles. High pressure sodium (HPS) luminaires were replaced with new LED luminaires on a street located in Oakland. The applicability of the technology was determined by light output, energy and power usage, economic factors, and qualitative satisfaction. The LED Street Lighting Assessment project was conducted as part of the Emerging Technologies Program of Pacific Gas and Electric Company. The Emerging Technologies program is an information-only program that seeks to accelerate the introduction of innovative energy efficient technologies, applications and analytical tools that are not widely adopted in California. [The] information includes verified energy savings and demand reductions, market potential and market barriers, incremental cost, and the technologys life expectancy.7

head luminaires analyzed in this study, cobra-head luminaires represent a large share of this energy usage.
P r o j e c t O b j e c t i ve s
The objectives of the project were to examine electrical, lighting, and economic performance of cobra-head HPS luminaires as compared to LED luminaires. The potential electrical demand and energy savings were measured in terms of average wattage and estimated annual kWh usage. Lighting performance was measured in terms of illuminance, uniformity, correlated color temperature (in Kelvin), and by the satisfaction and concerns of interested parties. Finally, economic performance was calculated as simple-payback for substitution in new installation or replacement scenarios, accounting for lamp life-span, maintenance costs, and electrical costs.
Methodolog y
Host site infor mation
Fifteen LED luminaires were installed on Sextus and Tunis roads between Empire Rd and Coral Rd near the Oakland International Airport in Oakland, California. To allow a variety of comparisons, Sextus Rd was illuminated with fresh HPS luminaires on the eastern half and LED luminaires on the western half, and Tunis Rd was illuminated exclusively with LED luminaires, while the adjacent Cairo Rd was entirely relamped with new HPS lamps. The pre-installation streetlights on Tunis Road were high pressure sodium cobra-head luminaires. This is a residential neighborhood, where all luminaires have heights of approximately 28.5 above the road surface, with spacings of approximately 110, 120, or 165 between luminaires.
Monitoring Plan
Two similar Monitoring Plans for each phase were developed for this assessment. Each called for pre-installation and post-installation field visits. In both cases, the monitoring area was set-up during our first site visit but before taking measurements. In the first phase, the project team took pre- and post-installation measurements in a parking lot owned by the City of Oakland to assess the likelihood of any negative safety impacts from the installation of the LED luminaires on a public street. With no significant concerns so identified, the project progressed to the second phase involving installation on actual public roadways. Therefore, the following describes the Phase 2 Monitoring Plan. The pre-installation field visit and grid set-up were combined and occurred prior to installation of the LED luminaires. It was intended to document the existing condition of the lighting system. The HPS lamps had been replaced and the luminaires had been cleaned in anticipation of this work. The HPS lamps were burned in for approximately 100 hours prior to installation. All light measurements were taken after dusk. Photopic and scotopic illuminance measurements were taken on a 395 x 36 grid over an area containing four luminaires. The distance between the first and second luminaires is 110, the distance between the second and third luminaires is 165', and finally the distance between the third and fourth luminaires is 120'. Ideally, luminaires are spaced equally for lighting uniformity, but in reality, street lights tend to be located at the intersection of property lines so that the street light is not solely located in one yard. The grid spacing was 12 north-south over the entire area, modified from the planned 10' because of the street width. Grid spacing in the area between the luminaires located 120' apart was 12 east-west and 10' apart in the areas between the luminaires located 165 and 110 apart. The measurement area is visually depicted in Appendix B. The luminaires were located approximately 28.5' above the finished grade, on 6 mounting arms from wood poles. The illuminance levels were taken with a Solar Light PMA220 meter with photopic and scotopic detectors at a height of 18 above ground. This meter has a precision of 1 lux (0.09 foot-candles). It should be noted that the measurements taken differ slightly from those defined in the IESNA Guide for Photometric Measurement of Roadway Lighting Installations. The Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) recommends that the grid be laid out so that measurements are taken beginning at one-half the grid spacing from the spot directly beneath the luminaire. In this study, the measurement grid was laid out such that measurements were taken at the areas directly underneath luminaires and the midpoints between luminaires, corresponding to the predicted maximum and minimum illuminance levels in the test area. This was done to capture

the full effect of differing uniformity in the HPS and LED luminaires. IESNA also recommends that care be taken to level the detector before each measurement and that the detector be less than 6 off the ground. The monitoring team determined that the former recommendation was of greater import, so measurements were taken at 18 the lowest level that could achieved with the combination of leveling tripod and detectors. Periodic temperature measurements were also taken throughout the testing period. These measurements were taken approximately every 20 minutes with a digital thermometer for both the HPS and LED measurements. In addition, during the night of the LED measurements, relative humidity and additional temperature measurements were taken every 30 second with a HOBO Instruments U12 datalogger. For measurement locations and geometry, see Appendix B1. Measurements were taken consistent with Appendix B2. The information gathered at each of the HPS and LED field visits was: 1. On-site photographs 2. Power, illumination, correlated color temperature and ambient temperature readings The following monitoring equipment used in the execution of this Monitoring Plan was obtained from the Pacific Energy Center: I L L UM I NA NC E ME T ER Solar Light SnP Meter (PMA220) with Photopic Detector (PMA2130) and Scotopic Detection (PMA2131), last calibrated 10/2007 CORRELATED COLOR TEMPERATURE METER Konica Minolta Chroma Meter, Model CL-200, last calibrated 10/2007 POWER METER Dent ElitePro Datalogger, last calibrated 4/2007 AMBIENT TEMPERATURE Digital Thermometer (GE61290DWT) Hobo Instruments U12 Datalogger, last calibration unknown

Electrical Demand and Energy Savings
Power data were logged using the DENT ElitePro Datalogger for a single HPS luminaire and a single LED luminaire. The HPS measurements were taken over the course of three nights, from 10/08/2007 to 10/10/2007. This HPS luminaire was then replaced with an LED luminaire, which was measured over the course of 13 nights, from 10/17/2007 to 10/30/2007. Because the meter was intended to be left over a period of days, it had to be installed at a height that was not within reach from the ground. As such, the monitoring team relied upon the City of Oakland and their street lighting maintenance crew to install and remove the meter. The number of days metered for both the LED and HPS luminaires is a product of when the data meter could be installed and removed. No significant variations in power consumption occurred during the measured period.11 The HPS luminaire consumed an average of 121 watts per luminaire over an average of 11.97 hours per day. 12 As a result, the estimated annual power consumption for the luminaire, assuming 4100 hours of operation annually, is 496 kWh. The LED luminaire consumed an average of 78 watts per luminaire over an average of 12.75 hours per day.13 As a result, the estimated annual power consumption for the luminaire, assuming 4100 hours of operation annually, is 319 kWh.
Table 1: Measured Power Demand and Estimated Energy Usage
The variation in hours of operation between the two luminaire types results from the photocell regulation of the on-off cycle. The primary influence on the hours of operation is the amount of time between sunset and sunrise; since the LED luminaire was monitored closer to the winter solstice than the HPS luminaire, the operating hours were slightly longer.14

For information on types of illuminance, see Discussion section. See Appendix A. These locations are denoted with italics in Appendix A5. The raw illuminance data was measured in lux and converted to footcandles by a factor of 0.0929.
I.e. if the average illuminance were 5 lux and the measured minimum were 0, the average-to-minimum uniformity ratio would be greater than 5 0.5 = 10.

Scotopically, the LED luminaires maintained or increased minimum illuminance levels across all spacings compared to the HPS luminaires. Uniformity ratios were increased with the LED luminaires in spacings other than 110, where they were reduced. Average scotopic illuminance levels were also increased with the LED luminaires in all spacings.

LUMEN MAINTENANCE LED manufacturers claim that LED lumen depreciation is minimal compared to conventional lighting sources. The manufacturer of the LED used in this study provided the chart below corresponding to their estimates of lumen maintenance of their product for various ambient temperatures. It should be noted however, that since the expected average annual nighttime temperature is below 25 degrees C, and no comparable luminaire has been operated for over 100,000 hours (nearly 25 years at 4,100 hours per year), no independent data is available to corroborate these estimates. In January 2008, the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) plans to publish standards for lumen depreciation testing which will allow measurement of lumen maintenance performance.
10
The HPS lamp used in this assessment was a nominally-rated 100 watt lamp. The manufacturer provided the following lumen maintenance graph. The shaded area in the graph represents the range of lumen maintenance found within the manufacturers HPS family. It is calculated based on the average of products (lamp wattage) in the companys HPS line.
The rated life of this HPS lamp is 30,000 hours. At 30,000 hours, the HPS lamp would be expected to provide 75-85% of initial lumens. The LED luminaire, if the manufacturers predictions are correct and ambient conditions average 25C or below, will still be providing more than 90% of its initial lumens at this point. Because the bottom surface of the LED luminaire is an acrylic resin, lumen maintenance is also affected by the yellowing of that resin. The Cyro Acrylite resin used by Ruud Lighting is projected by the manufacturer to experience a relatively minor yellowing. Under climate conditions similar to that in Arizona, transmittance (the fraction of incident light that passes through the resin) would, after ten years, decrease by approximately 2%. Further information on the yellowing index of this resin is available in Appendix F. CORRELATED COLOR TEMPERATURE Color measurements were measured using a Konica Minolta Chromameter under 3 sample luminaires of each type; LED and HPS. For the LED luminaires, measurements of correlated color temperature were taken directly. For the HPS luminaires, the chromameter was unable to calculate the correlated color temperature, so tristimulus values were measured and then converted to correlated color temperature. The average correlated color temperature under the LED luminaires was 6255 K. The average under the HPS luminaires was 1991 K. Due to difficulties in obtaining the chromameter prior to the installation of the LED luminaires, the HPS color temperature measurements were not taken under the luminaires used for illuminance measurements.

To qualitatively analyze color rendition, photos were taken of each luminaire type. They were taken with a Nikon D80 digital camera, and the white balance was also adjusted from the initial 4000k to 4200k for each photo. This value was chosen as the average of the literature values for color temperature for the HPS lamps (1900k) and the LEDs (6500K). The camera settings were identical on each photo: Flash: No Focal Length: 18 mm F-Number: F/6.3 Exposure Time: 5 sec.

CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory managed the customer opinion survey for this assessment. A public opinion research firm, Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin & Associates, was engaged to contact residents of the neighborhood by telephone and obtain their feedback on the new lights. Phone numbers were obtained for 49 of the households on streets with new streetlights on their blocks, and for 106 of the households elsewhere in the neighborhood. Contact was attempted during the period November 30 through December 19, and reached 60 households in total. A copy of the survey, as well as full results, are presented in Appendix D. The first question asked of residents was if they had in fact noticed the change in street lighting. A no to this question meant skipping most of the rest of the questions, other than the final demographic questions on age and gender. Ultimately, only 16 residences on the streets directly under the lighting and 4 residences elsewhere in the neighborhood were reached that reported noticing the new lights. The results below are therefore limited to 20 responses; a number sufficient to note any overwhelming trends but insufficient to perform any statistical extrapolation to a larger population. In all, 17 out of the 20 respondents felt that the new streetlights were at least as preferable (i.e., either had no preference or preferred the new lights outright) as the old streetlights, if not significantly better. See Table 6 below.

All respondents that had noticed the new streetlights felt that that the new streetlights at least maintained or improved their neighborhoods overall appearance, nighttime safety and nighttime visibility. See Table 7. Table 7. Neighborhood Impact of New Streetlights

In three questions regarding different aspects of visibility (visibility as a driver, visibility as a pedestrian and recognition of people at night), respondents indicated improvements with the new
15
streetlights. Fourteen respondents indicated that the new streetlights strongly improved roadway visibility when they were driving, while 13 indicated that the new streetlights strongly improved their ability to see as pedestrians. Additionally, 13 indicated that the new streetlights had made it much or somewhat easier to recognize people at night. These results are consistent with respondents overall preference of the new streetlights, given that the primary goal of streetlights is to improve nighttime visibility. Of respondents that noticed the new streetlights, opinions were somewhat more varied with regards to the other subjective measures of streetlight effectiveness glare, brightness and shadow creation. While opinions were much more uniformly positive about the new streetlights effect on visibility and the overall neighborhood, opinions were a bit more mixed when it came to the potential secondary effects. Ten respondents felt that the new streetlights reduced glare, while 7 did not notice a change in glare; 3 respondents indicated that the new streetlights created more glare. The results were somewhat similar for the questions regarding shadow creation, with 12 respondents not indicating any change one way or another in terms of the shadow creation by the new streetlights, suggesting that shadow creation may have not been a problem with the old streetlights. Although this somewhat small sample size does not permit statistical conclusions with much specificity, the preponderance of those interviewed indicated strong and consistent preference for the new streetlights. Much of this appears to be attributable to improved visibility for drivers and pedestrians and the overall positive effects of the new streetlights on several aspects of the neighborhoods overall appearance and nighttime safety. This is consistent with the open-ended responses of those preferring the new streetlights; half of which indicated that their expressed preference was based upon improved visibility.

This is a common assumption, but is acknowledged to be speculative at this point due to the lack of actual field experience.

regarding the useful life of the luminaires are such that LED luminaire replacement was not incorporated into maintenance estimates. Normally this cost could be annualized, effectively saving money each year toward eventual luminaire replacement. Since this was not done, there were no variable maintenance costs for the LED luminaires. For the HPS luminaires, maintenance accounted for roughly 25% of the total annual cost under the spot replacement scheme. With the group replacement scheme, maintenance accounted for roughly 15% of the total annual cost. Since variable maintenance costs for the LED luminaires were effectively assumed to be zero, the energy costs accounted for 100% of the annual cost.24
Table 8: Annual Luminaire Costs
Luminaire Type HPS (with Spot Replacement) HPS (with Group Replacement) LED
Two economic scenarios were considered: a new construction scenario in which LED luminaires are installed in place of planned 100 watt HPS luminaires, and a retrofit scenario in which LED luminaires were assumed to be installed in place of existing and operational 100 watt HPS luminaires. In each scenario, evaluations were conducted with comparisons based on both HPS group replacement and HPS spot replacement maintenance schemes. The details of these scenarios are presented in Appendix E. Currently, the cost of the LED luminaires is approximately 3.75 times that of the HPS luminaires (including lamp and photocell). In the new construction scenario, the initial investment for HPS installation is the HPS luminaire cost plus the cost of installation. Since the cost of installation is assumed to be the same for both luminaire types, the total incremental cost of installation for LED luminaires, $487, is the difference in material costs between the LED luminaires and the HPS luminaires. The resulting simple payback periods are 11.6 years in the spot replacement scheme, and 14.9 in the group replacement scheme.
Table 9: New Construction Economics
Luminaire Type HPS LED (vs. HPS with Spot Replacement) LED (vs. HPS with Group Replacement)
In the retrofit scenario, there is no assumed initial investment in the HPS luminaires. As a result, the incremental cost of LED installation is the full estimated cost of the LED luminaire installation, or $833. The resulting simple payback periods are approximately double those for the
24
new construction scenario: 19.8 years in the spot replacement scheme, and 25.5 in the group replacement scheme.
Table 10: Retrofit Economics
Luminaire Type HPS LED (vs. HPS with Spot Replacement) LED (vs. HPS with Group Replacement)
If a luminaire has a calculated simple payback period longer than its useful life, it will not have recouped the initial investment. The payback periods in this particular case study correspond to a range of roughly 50,000 to 100,000 hours of operation. It should be noted that the manufacturer provides a 5-year warranty with their product (corresponding to 20,500 hours of operation at 4,100 hours per year), although a much longer useful life is anticipated.25 It should be noted that the simple payback periods were based on bulk-purchased luminaire costs. Individual luminaire purchases, or purchases in small numbers, would carry increased luminaire cost, and thereby lengthen the simple payback period. In addition, the calculated simple payback periods are sensitive to estimated maintenance savings, which are in turn highly dependent on the specific installation scenario. It is also conceivable that maintenance visits may be required for the LED luminaires (such as for cleaning), but this is not incorporated due to lack of information. As a result of these uncertainties and the noted sensitivity, ranges were calculated for each economic scenario considered around the estimated annual maintenance savings, from $0 per luminaire to $30 per luminaire. Cost curves were generated showing requisite LED luminaire costs for simple paybacks under 20 years, and are shown below.

Maintenance Savings
$1,100
LED luminaire cost is the other key component of the simple payback periods. Currently, the majority of this cost is comprised by the cost of LEDs, which is declining rapidly. Indeed, Haitzs Law predicts that the light output of LEDs increases by a factor of 20 every 10 years, while the cost decreases by a factor of 10 over the same period of time. This has held approximately true beginning with red LEDs in the late 1960s and continuing with the more recent white LEDs.26 At the same time, the cost per lumen output has declined at a rate of 20% per year.27 The remainder of the luminaire cost includes research and development costs, design, general overhead, manufacturing, and other material costs.

Discussion
LED luminaires offer potential energy savings in outdoor lighting while maintaining or improving lighting performance. The LED luminaires used in this particular study each drew 43 watts less power than the 121 watt HPS luminaires they replaced (100-watt nominal lamp), providing approximately 36% percent electrical savings. If the same savings could be achieved with 1/2 of the estimated electrical usage for roadway lighting in PG&Es service territory, the resulting savings would be over 150 GWh. The HPS luminaires used in this study had an estimated maintained efficacy of roughly 60 lumens per watt, based on the rated mean lamp lumens (8550 lumens), average cobra-head downward efficiency (85%28), and measured power usage (121 watts). While the LED luminaires used in this study had an efficacy of 57.5 lumens per watt, slightly less than the HPS luminaires, they enhanced lighting quality such that sufficient lighting performance could be achieved with reduced (photopic) lumen output, and therefore reduced power. There is also potential for further savings as LEDs become more efficacious. In addition, the use of LED light sources will allow for advanced operating procedures such as bi-level operation or dimming in accordance with prescribed conditions. The LED luminaires provided sufficient illumination to meet the City of Oaklands street lighting requirements, and proved to be a practicable replacement for the 100 watt HPS luminaires. The City of Oakland standards for new residential installations require an average photopic illuminance of greater than 0.4 footcandles and max to min uniformity ratio of less than 6:1. These standards were generally met by the LED luminaires, with the exception of the uniformity ratio at the largest spacing. It should be noted that these standards apply to new, residential installations, which may not be the same as those that applied at the time that the poles were installed. The full standards for new street lighting installations are available at http://www.oaklandpw.com/Asset550.aspx. While the LED luminaires had decreased average photopic illuminance, this does not necessarily denote inferior light performance. This is because the lighting distribution of HPS luminaires is such that they must over-light the area directly below (creating hot spots) in order to maintain minimum levels further away. Indeed, compared to the HPS luminaires, the LED luminaires maintained minimum photopic light levels across all spacings, while reducing uniformity ratios (i.e., increasing overall uniformity). Human perception of light follows two distinct spectral response curves, depending on the light level. The spectral response curve that dominates during typical daytime conditions is the photopic response curve, and results from the cones in human eyes. During very low light conditions, perception follows the scotopic response curve, which in contrast results from the rods in the human eye. The peak spectral luminous efficacy of the scotopic response curve (1700 lumens per watt, at 507 nanometers) is significantly greater than that of the photopic response curve (683 lumens per watt, at 555 nanometers). Traditionally, light levels have only been measured in accordance with the photopic response curve. In recent years however, interest has grown in scotopic light due to the human eyes ability to perceive objects more clearly from sources with enhanced scotopic quality, particularly at night. In this study light levels were measured according to both the photopic and scotopic spectral response curves, resulting in two sets of values: photopic illuminance and scotopic illuminance.

The relative importance of scotopic illuminance and photopic illuminance at low light levels are still uncertain.29 However, it is reasonable to assume that better lighting performance will result if photopic illuminance is maintained while scotopic illuminance is increased. In this study minimum photopic levels were maintained, as mentioned above, and scotopic illuminance levels were either maintained or increased. Despite the electrical savings, the present high upfront cost of LED street lighting luminaires may be a barrier to their current adoption. In choosing between an HPS or LED luminaire for new poles, the simple payback of the LED luminaire in this particular study would be on the order of 15 years. Under a scenario in which the customer had the option to replace a fully operational HPS luminaire with a new LED luminaire, the simple payback would be on the order of 26 years. To meet a simple payback of 2 years or less, the cost of an LED luminaire would need to be on the order of $250 in the new construction scenario (not including installation costs, which are assumed to be the same for both LED and HPS luminaires). To meet a simple payback period of 5 years or less, the LED luminaire cost would need to be near $350. Due to installation costs in the given retrofit scenario, it would be difficult for the LED luminaire to meet a 2 year simple payback period, and the price would have to be below $100 to meet a 5 year simple payback. However as previously noted, these simple paybacks are sensitive to the maintenance costs associated in specific circumstances. Group replacement procedures for HPS lamps have the potential to reduce maintenance costs by replacing lamps slightly before failure, because the largest maintenance expense is for labor. This would result in a less favorable comparative economic performance for the LED luminaires. In addition, with the rapid advancements in LED efficacy and a reduction in the cost of semi-conductors, the payback of any LED luminaire installation can be expected to improve in the future. Various incentive programs could also help bring the price down to this level for consumers even sooner. PG&E uses this and other Emerging Technologies assessments to support development of potential incentives for emerging energy efficient solutions. Because the performance and quality of the LED fixtures are critical to the long-term delivery of energy savings, it is important that incentive programs include quality control mechanisms. Incentive programs should include performance standards for qualifying products that include minimum criteria for warranty, efficacy, light distribution, and other important criteria.

Conclusion
LED street lighting has great potential for energy savings. While this demonstration provides further evidence of the improvements in performance of LED luminaires, the particulars of costs and savings for this demonstration show economics that are still at the outskirts of acceptability for the majority of commercial customers. Performance of the LED luminaires combined with growing industry acceptance of their higher performance vs. high pressure sodium luminaires may provide early adopters the impetus to invest in the emerging technology. Utility or government incentive programs could also help to tip the scale towards greater adoption of LED luminaires for streetlight applications by reducing the initial investment. These utility incentive programs should require minimum performance standards for qualifying products in order to ensure long-term energy savings.
