New LED streetlights inside U.S. Marine Base Camp Lejeune have increased visibility and cut electricity usage for streetlights in half.
 
A total of 1,092 metal halide and high‐pressure sodium streetlights throughout U.S. Marine Base Camp Lejeune have been replaced with 75‐and 105‐Watt LED lights, reducing energy just below 50% compared to the lights they replaced. The new EvoLucia LED cobra head fixtures are made by Sarasota, FL-based LED manufacturer Sunovia Energy Technologies are mounted on existing roadway lighting poles, saving Camp Lejeune, and federal taxpayers, the cost of installing new poles.
 
“After reviewing the EvoLucia cobra head test reports and seeing the incredible performance the lights achieved at such a low input wattage, I knew they were the ideal solution for our customer, Camp Lejeune,” says George Futrell of Graybar, Inc., which facilitated the sale of lights to Camp Lejeune.
 
Facts about the Installation:

• Previously, 250-Watt metal halide fixtures at Camp Lejeune cast an orange glow and provided minimum visibility due to light spill and glare. They were replaced with 105-Watt LED lights, which project a cool, white light directly onto the road for high visibility.

• The new LED streetlights are maintenance-free, designed to not require any lamp replacements for more than 12 years of nighttime use.

• EvoLucia LED cobra heads meet Dark Sky guidelines and LEED certification requirements by minimizing light trespass, reducing sky-glow and reducing the impact on nocturnal environments.
