Marina Vista California Replaces HPS Street Fixtures With Energy-Efficient EverLast® Induction Cobra Heads
Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD), Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (SHRA) and Full Spectrum Solutions, Inc. partnered to retrofit high-pressure sodium (HPS) cobra heads throughout the community of Marina Vista, California.
The pre-existing HPS fixtures were replaced as a demonstration project sponsored by SMUD's Customer Advanced Technologies (CAT) program which incented the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency a percentage of the project cost.
Towards the end of 2008, EverLast® 100w Cobra Heads were installed along sections of streets within the residential housing complexes. To achieve automatic on/off control, each fixture was coupled with a twist-lock photocell.
Mike Dowd, SHRA Central Services Supervisor, states "I am very impressed with the fixtures, with their efficiency, long life, and bright, white light."
SMUD, along with SHRA, implemented EverLast® induction fixtures after being introduced to them by the California Lighting Technology Center (CLTC). "The induction lighting is quite a bit brighter, thus enhancing the perception of improved security. We have received compliments from residents at this housing development." states Mike Dowd, SHRA Central Services Supervisor.
