Sustainable Future using LED

Environmental sustainability is crucial to conserving and maintaing your community for generations to come. LED street lights play a big role in helping to reduce the impact we have on our environment. Stop investing in old technology and start saving now.

Use Less Energy

Energy savings from LEDway streetlights, for typical street lighting applications, is generally 40-60% compared to traditional high-intensity discharge (HID) products. Lighting controls such as radio frequency and power line carrier systems can be added to further enhance overall energy savings.

Control Light Pollution

LEDway streetlights comply with IESNA and International Dark Sky Association guidelines. Patented NanoOptic™ technology within LEDway directs light into target areas, without spilling onto neighboring properties or into the night sky.

Eliminate Hazardous Materials

LEDway streetlights are Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) compliant and contain no mercury or other hazardous substances compared to traditional lamp sources that present potentially hazardous disposal and environmental issues.

Lower Greenhouse Gas Emissions

LED streetlights reduce the amount of energy used and ultimately help to reduce your areas carbon footprint. Government studies estimate rapid adoption of LED over the next 20 years can eliminate 258 million metric tons of carbon emissions.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

LEDway products are made using a total of 20-25% (by weight) post consumer recycled materials (aluminum castings and extrusions). Seventy percent (by weight) of LEDway components are aluminum castings and extrusions that are readily recyclable. Corrugated packaging is 100% recyclable.

Less Landfill Waste

The extended life rating of an LED system means that less waste is sent to landfills each year. Less waste from relamping means less pollution, less soil contamination, and less environmental noise from maintaining the landfill.
