Turnkey demonstration kits have been assembled and shipped to 28 municipalities across Canada to date," states CEO, Vince. "Each municipality has committed to a 2-3 month field trial to familiarize themselves with our Lumen IQ™ technology and experiment with its energy saving, performance monitoring and reporting capabilities."
With an estimated 6.5 million street lights in Canada today, SLQ believes there exists an opportunity to realize major energy,led high bay maintenance and greenhouse gas emission savings - simply through more efficient operation of the country's existing street light infrastructure.
The demonstrations have provided very encouraging feedback in terms of the Lumen IQ™ system's ability to significantly reduce street light power consumption and accurately measure and report power savings. For example, according to Mr. Kelly Hewson, Technical Advisor for FortisBC Inc."The Lumen IQ(tm) products performed very well, met expected criteria parameters and delivered the energy savings expected. A key finding of the field study was that dimming was virtually undetectable by both FortisBC and city staff while 30% energy savings were being achieved. Additionally, no negative public reaction resulted from the test site. In our opinion, the products can be recommended for full deployment".
14 field trials have been fully completed so far, and six cities and two utility companies are already reviewing the possibility for larger scale installation. Other participants have requested that their demonstration be extended beyond the field trial timeframe and, in some cases, that they be able to purchase the demonstration kits. With the LED Linear high bay light cooperation of Natural Resources Canada, and in order to accommodate these requests, the National Demonstration Program has been extended until December 31, 2010, at which point a formal project report will be made available.
