Acuity Brands has participated in a pilot outdoor LED lighting and revitalization project in Rock Falls, Illinois with its Holophane® brand of luminaires and innovative SiteLink® pole system.

New LED lighting will highlight the City of Rock Falls' overall objective which focuses on the City Hall parking lot and aims at eventually revitalizing the entire downtown area.

The main goals of the lighting component of the revitalization efforts are to obtain high vertical illumination with no less than .5 footcandles of horizontal illuminance and cutoff optics, while utilizing "green technology."

Therefore, the City selected Holophane Esplanade® 150-watt Utility Tear Drop LED luminaires mounted on SiteLink SL5 poles and North Yorkshire style decorative pole bases to satisfy its lighting and aesthetics criteria.
 
As part of a comprehensive lighting solution, the City also will be using photocontrols from Acuity Brands' DTL® controls brand. DTL® photocontrols save energy and reduce utility replacement costs, offering an integrated intelligent outdoor lighting and controls solution that saves energy by providing both excellent reliability and accurate light sensing.

SiteLink poles reduce site clutter with their integrated modular TracPole™ system (patent pending). A unique aluminum extrusion design provides integrated wireways inside the system and a convenient, adjustable and attractive platform for mounting a variety of pole accessories and amenities. SiteLink poles come in both fluted and non-fluted styles, as well as multiple diameters, to meet a variety of loading requirements and architectural needs from modern to historical appearances.
 
It's said that the Holophane brand has been a recognized leader in high-quality and lowest total cost of ownership lighting solutions for commercial, industrial, and outdoor applications for more than 110 years.
