Project Info COMPLETE Project Title

Exterior LED Lights with Occupancy Sensors

Project Number ET11SCE1221 Organization SCE End-use Lighting Sector Commercial Project Year(s) 2011 - 2011
Description
This field evaluation tests the feasibility of integral PIR occupancy sensors coupled to LED exterior (structure and pole mtd) luminaires for dusk-dawn operation.
Project Results
This project examines performance parameters and effective use of controllable light-emitting diode (LED) component systems for commercial cold storage and exterior outdoor parking lots (pole and structure mounted). Currently, there is not a standard systems approach for presence sensor technology (occupants or transports/vehicles sensing) coupled to LED technology. Bundling these technologies, thereby creating a systems approach, has the potential for significant energy reduction for both environments. While these tests were concurrently performed on the same site, implementation of emerging technology LED lighting and occupancy sensor technology, as a package, has standalone value for both applications. If Southern California Edison (SCE) were to incentivize LED lighting with occupancy (motion sensor) controls as a system, such a system could be marketed and implemented at exterior sites as well as cold storage warehouse facilities, or sites with both functions. This systems approach also has potential with other industrial, commercial, and governmental environments exhibiting similar characteristics.
