First Major Mexican LED Street Lighting Installation Complete

Prolific Streetlight by LSGC

Using breakthrough Technology, art meets science with our streamline cast, ultra-efficient LED street lights that now grace the streets of Vista Verde Country Club in Tehuacan, Puebla, Mexico.  The community saw a need to illuminate their roadways and reduce energy consumption & maintenance costs, and we were able to bring balance to these needs by installing our PROLIFIC series LED street lights.  “With rising energy costs, communities all around Mexico and the world are looking for ways to save energy—the installation of Lighting Science PROLIFIC streetlights at Vista Verde is a perfect example of how buying green can save communities money while improving safety and security,” said Angel Fernandez, one of the principals of the Vista Verde Country Club.

Compared with traditional HID (high-intensity discharge) street lights, PROLIFIC street lights are at least 50% more efficient.  They’ll provide a more uniform light distribution, increase light levels, and save the residents of Vista Verde Country Club thousands of dollars in energy and maintenance cost over the life of the fixtures!  “We invited BHP Energy Mexico, our country’s leading experts in energy efficient solutions, to guide our selection of lighting for our new residential golf club community,” said Constantino Ramon, Manager of Vista Verde Country Club. “We wanted a sustainable lighting system to complement our eco-friendly project, but with so much confusion in the LED marketplace, we needed independent professionals to guide us.  When BHP Energy Mexico demonstrated the Lighting Science PROLIFIC LED fixture, we knew immediately that it was the best choice for this prestigious development,” Ramon added.

Testing results from an independent lab approved by the U.S. Department of Energy show that the PROLIFIC street lights outperform competing products on the market.  The maintenance-friendly PROLIFIC LED technology eliminates costly re-lamping and re-ballasting of HID street lights and direct line wiring is used in place of starters or capacitors further reducing traditional maintenance issues.

“With the PROLIFIC series, communities and cities now have the freedom to switch to an environmentally friendly, affordable and energy efficient street light that has better lighting quality than traditional HID lights,” said Zach Gibler, our CEO.  “I would like to thank BHP Energy Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V. for introducing our cutting edge products into Mexico, an important lighting market for the company.” And, so would the rest of us here at Lighting Science Group!  Leer en Español.
