Municipalities and utilities are under constant pressure to lower operating costs while providing safe and visually appealing light. The expanded series delivers superior efficacy of up to 128 LPW, outperforming High Pressure Sodium (HPS) solutions with up to 70 percent more energy savings and replacing HPS fixtures ranging up to 150W.
