Scroll to learn moreThe 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 TWG 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. TWG 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.
Why Lombard Chose to work with TWGIS
The Village of Lombard chose TWG based on their history of success in designing LED Streetlight conversions and the availability of leading LED streetlight manufacturers with a wealth of knowledge and experience in meeting challenging expectations.
How TWG Company Responded
TWG IS brought together their own knowledge base with that of leading LED lighting manufacturers GE and Vega to engineer the best solution for each application.
The Results
The Village installed the new luminaires and conversion kits with their own forces over several years as time and budgets allowed. The result is a photometrically superior and reliable lighting system that provides an economical and renewable advantage that the Village and it’s residents can be proud of.
