“Maintaining the integrity of lighting in our beautiful 18 th century downtown area was vital, but we also recognized the need to modernize with better energy efficiency,” said Luis Nava, Mayor of Santiago de Querétaro. “Working with IDC Componentes and Ilumiled enabled us to find the right LEDs to keep the look of our lighting consistent while offering us needed energy and cost savings. We are seeing double the light output with less than half of the energy consumption.”

“The lighting upgrade for the city of Santiago de Querétaro posed a unique challenge, as it placed a heavy emphasis on the warmth and color of the lighting,” said Bryan Chavoya, Sales Manager, IDC Componentes. “Working with our local partner, Ilumiled, enabled us to capture all the subtleties—not only by delivering industry-leading LED technology from Cree LED that increases brightness and energy efficiency, but also by maintaining the consistent look and feel of the city’s historic downtown area.”
