Village of Lombard Downtown Streetlights LED Conversion
Over 2,600 Fixtures Converted
Introduction
The Village of Lombard is an environmentally progressive municipality with a population of 44,000. Lombard was on the forefront with their LED Streetlighting Upgrade Program and brought in Lighting Solutions of Illinois, A Will Group Company to help them engineer the best choices for their various applications. Converting all of their streetlights to LED provided the Village with more effective lighting, reduced energy consumption, improved reliability and reduced maintenance (no replacement relamping).
The Village of Lombard
Over the years, the Village of Lombard has installed multiple configurations and multiple manufacturers of streetlights throughout the Village depending on the type of area, photometric performance and trending styles. In addition to multiple styles and manufacturers of ornamental lights in the central business district, they have 30’ poles with a combination of roadway luminaires and ornamental pedestrian luminaires on Main Street.
The Challenge Faced
The variety of styles and manufacturers presented an engineering challenge to develop the best solution for each application while providing a cohesive look and excellent photometric performance in all of the various environments. Lighting Solutions of Illinois, A Will Group Company worked with manufacturers GE and Vega to engineer the best solution for each application. For roadway luminaires it was more economical to replace the entire luminaire. For the ornamental luminaires it was more economical to provide custom retrofit kits to convert the existing luminaire housings to LED.
