Step 4 – Compare DataStep 4 – Compare Data
• Review Useful Life, Operating Temperature and Lumen Depreciation
Most important life factor is thermal managementL70 will show hours it will take for LED to reach 70 % of lighting levelsLife time is important – will range from 50,000 to 100,000 hours – read fine print. Hours of lamps or drivers – based on X hours per day

Step 5 – Review Photometric ReportsStep 5 – Review Photometric Reports
• AGi32 – is standard independent light simulation software that all manufactures should have to simulate their lights
• Avoid comparing to Manufactures software
Important that all are simulated the same to compare anticipated lighting outputs
![Page 24: Cost Benefit Analyses of Energy Efficient Technologies Available for Use in Roadway Lighting Presenters: Gary A. Swanson, PE Energy Management Solutions](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/56649d8c5503460f94a74033/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Step 6 – WarrantyStep 6 – Warranty
• Average warranty is 3-5 years• Important to see how manufacture will
match replacement lights/modules when LEDs are changing every 6 months.
Warranty for lumen output not just failed light?Warranty for color shifting?

Step 8 – EconomicsStep 8 – Economics
• Evaluate economics of lights to see if payback is acceptable. (See Payback Analysis Sheet)
Can range from 3 to 10 yearsBe sure to include discounts from rebates Local utilities (up to 50%), state and federal (up to 25%)
Make sure to use avoided cost of energy and not average cost of energy ($/kWh) No demand components (kW) at night Off Peak energy rates (kWh) Fuel Cost Adjustment Riders

Step 9 – Test Lights FirstStep 9 – Test Lights First
• Test in pairs to get true impact of lights• Test for 4 weeks• Many Manufactures will let you test their
fixtures for free for 90 days• Make sure to order mounting brackets if
needed and correct voltage
![Page 29: Cost Benefit Analyses of Energy Efficient Technologies Available for Use in Roadway Lighting Presenters: Gary A. Swanson, PE Energy Management Solutions](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/56649d8c5503460f94a74033/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Step 10 – Measure ResultsStep 10 – Measure Results
• Lumens can be measured before and after
• LEDs will have different characteristicsPupil Lumens, (S/P)0.78, Photopic
• Evaluate glare to see if adversely impacting area
![Page 30: Cost Benefit Analyses of Energy Efficient Technologies Available for Use in Roadway Lighting Presenters: Gary A. Swanson, PE Energy Management Solutions](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/56649d8c5503460f94a74033/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Options to ConsiderOptions to Consider
• Leasing vs BuyingMany utilities such as Xcel energy offer an option to lease the fixture, energy only, or lease pole/fixture.Advantages are that you don’t have to take care of the fixtureDisadvantages are that it will cost you more and you will continue to payNeed to work with utilities on costs if using LED since energy costs will be less

For Utility CIP ManagersFor Utility CIP Managers
• Street Lights are many times the highest cost a city has to pay for energy.
One city spent $300,000 in street lighting and only $50,000 for all other energy used. Cutting street lighting costs by 50% can reduce energy budget by 43%.Maintenance costs by 80%
![Page 32: Cost Benefit Analyses of Energy Efficient Technologies Available for Use in Roadway Lighting Presenters: Gary A. Swanson, PE Energy Management Solutions](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/56649d8c5503460f94a74033/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
For Utility CIP ManagersFor Utility CIP Managers
• Consistent lighting can provide bring positive attitude to city
• Less outages means less calls, less headaches and more safety for the city
• Can save 50% of the energy without controls and 75% with controls
• New controls can be added later
