LED luminaire revenues for outdoor and parking applications will reach US$1.4 billion annually by 2021, says Navigant
Press release, August 19; Alex Wolfgram, DIGITIMES[Tuesday 19 August 2014]
Outdoor lighting systems are in the early stages of a transition from fluorescent, high-pressure sodium, and metal halide lamps to LEDs. As LED prices continue to fall, the case for replacing today's most prevalent lighting technologies in outdoor systems is becoming more and more compelling. According to a recent report from Navigant Research, worldwide revenues from LED luminaires for outdoor and parking applications will grow from US$921 million annually in 2014 to US$1.4 billion in 2021.
"While the deployment of LED lighting in parking lots will dramatically cut energy bills and help politicians achieve environmental goals, better lighting quality is a significant additional benefit in itself," said Jesse Foote, senior research analyst with Navigant Research. "LED lighting can help drivers better identify objects, obstacles, and individuals; minimize glare and light pollution; and make spaces more visually appealing while enhancing safety for pedestrians and motorists."
Because the lifespan of LEDs is much longer than that of conventional lighting, direct revenues from lamp and luminaire sales will actually decline gradually after 2021, according to the report. This trend will drive the large lighting providers to move toward a "lighting-as-a-service" model, in which LED lighting and energy management will be offered as an ongoing service rather than a one-time equipment sale, the firm said.

The Danish capital city Copenhagen is planning to roll out a large-scale pilot project featuring smart LED lights that is aiming to save money, cut carbon emissions and even alert police about suspicious activities.

The Danish Outdoor Lighting Lab (DOLL) a GreenLab by Photonics is to be open September 2014 and will stretch for about 9 km along the roads of the Copenhagen suburb Albertslund and will cover about 1.5 square kilometres in total.
Hundreds of lights will be installed in Albertslund and its local citizens will take part in a major experiment to examine how future cities should use streetlighting.
As many as 25 companies have reserved space for their products in parcels of land 300 metres square. Each lamp is being assigned a separate IP address to enable remote monitoring. The project plans to test smart lamps that dim if it is sunny and brighten if a few people pass by at night. Other smart lights will be used to automatically send out alerts when they are not operating correctly.
Sensors that track traffic density, air quality, noise, weather conditions and UV radiation will also be fitted throughout the site to see what sort of environment the lights are operating in and will indicate which lights are making the biggest difference in terms of lowering costs and emissions.
DOLL wants to encourage more cities to make the change by demonstrating what different types of lamps can do and describes the project as a "huge urban playground". The project is described as a 'Living Lab'.
Michael Nissen-Petersen, key account manager in Street & Outdoor Lighting Thorn Lighting A/S explained it is important to show customers what is the effect of dimming the lights by 50 percent. "It is our experience that customers are becoming more confident at turning down the lights when they see it work in practice. Typically, they think that if we dim the lights by 50 or 70 percent, it will have a dramatic effect. But from personal experience, they can see that in an outdoor environment it can be difficult to tell the difference."

Copenhagen starts large-scale smart LED lighting experiment
Utica, NY (PRWEB) August 15, 2014
Tinys Grill is saving $159 a month on its utility bill, while reducing its energy usage and environmental impact. By implementing energy-efficient interior and exterior lighting upgrades throughout the bar, dining room, kitchen, storage and outdoor areas of its Utica, NY location, Tinys Grill has reduced energy consumption by 17,194 kWh, which is equivalent to removing an estimated 18,913 pounds of carbon dioxide from the environment per year, according to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency calculations. The lighting upgrades were completed by SmartWatt Energy via the National Grid Small Business Services Program.
When the owner of Tinys Grill, Joanne Gerace, contacted National Grid to inquire about their Small Business Services Program, SmartWatt came in to perform a complimentary energy audit of all interior and exterior lighting. SmartWatt then proposed a plan to replace the existing lighting systems with energy-efficient fluorescent and LED lighting fixtures throughout the restaurant. These lighting upgrades have not only substantially reduced the restaurants energy costs, but have also resulted in a rebate of $3,955, which according to National Grid, are expected to pay for themselves in only 16 months.
SmartWatt is the administrator and implementation contractor for National Grid's Small Business Services Program in Central, Northern, and the Mohawk Valley regions of upstate New York. The National Grid Small Business Services Program helps businesses with an average peak demand of 100 kW or less per month to conduct energy-efficient upgrade measures. Through this program, SmartWatt will provide a complimentary energy audit and National Grid will pay up to 70 percent of the installation costs completed by SmartWatt and finance the remaining amount interest-free for up to two years.

Glowing recommendations for outdoor lighting
Outdoor lighting is often an afterthought in exterior facelifts and landscape designs, something not remembered until the plants are dug, the deck is built and the house is repainted. If you find yourself in this kind of dark spot, don't despair. Here are some recommendations from lighting professionals:

Visualize your home makeover
Here's how it works: Take a photo or two of the room to which you want to add a new chair, bed or desk. Pick a piece of furniture you want to browse for from a list based on various categories (living room, bedroom and lighting), or narrow your options first from one of the app's four featured brands: CB2, Pier 1 Imports, Capitol Lighting and Ikea. Select an item you like, and it appears superimposed on the photo of your room. You can scale the item to whatever size you'd prefer, drag it to different spots and rotate it.
The price for each item you add to your room displays when you click on it, and a shopping cart icon takes you to a more detailed listing: the name, dimensions, price and a link to buy it or find it in stores. You can save your room as a photo on your phone's camera roll, email it to friends or post it to Facebook. Available free, only for iOS.
