It’s reported that Acuity Brands’s Holophane Washington Postlite Series was chosen by City of Vancouver to revitalize an upscale neighborhood.

In February 2009Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson launched an initiative to become the world’s greenest city by 2020.

For this outdoor lighting project supporting the mayor’s initiative LED luminaires were the only types considered and objectives focused on lighting quality, sustainability and energy-efficiency.

After a competitive selection process, Acuity Brands’s product was considered as the only units that met the full set of Vancouver’s needs, including stringent and sustained performance criteria.

Vancouver will install these LED luminaires along several thousand linear feet of roadway, with the project slated for completion this spring.

The Holophane luminaires will be installed on custom 16-foot concrete poles to replace the steel poles installed in 1946 that supported the existing cobra-head lighting system.
