Your Reputation is at Risk POORLY LIT CAN TRANSLATE TO: Unsafe Uninviting Uncaring THE RESULT: Difficulty Attracting Businesses Residents View Their City Poorly in Comparison LIGHT TRESPASS CAN KEEP YOUR RESIDENTS UP AT NIGHT Excessive, misdirected lighting in cities like Brooklyn and Seattle has been described by residents as prison-like and caused some residents to tape garbage bags to their windows to block the glare. Source: NY Times article, gbe.me/ny Energy Waste/Sustainability Issues Excessive outdoor lighting, including exterior fixtures on office and industrial buildings, wastes about $3.5 billion in energy per year, according to the International Dark-Sky Association. The 55 million streetlights in the U.S. equate to greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 2.6 million cars.

5 These lights burn less energy, which means we re reducing our energy bills and our energy use at the same time, and their much longer lifespan also means we re reducing our e-waste footprint. Everyone who has contributed to this project is helping Oaklanders and making our city proud. Jean Quan Former Mayor City of Oakland, CA Just ask the City of Oakland Recognized as a top 10 environmentally sensitive U.S. city eight times in the last several years. Converted to LED streetlights What Other Officials are Saying About Switching To LED Lighting has always been a high percentage of our power bill and operating expense. And it doesn t help that we are located right on the riverbank. The lights are constantly exposed to windy conditions, causing the bulbs to burn out quickly. Overall, we knew that LED street and parking area fixtures would solve many of the technical issues we experienced daily with HID lighting. The bright, white LED lights would be more attractive to our residents, save money on energy and maintenance costs and last much longer. Tom Zeuli Director of Public Works City of Hudson, WI Oakland is Winning at More Than Just Lighting Tied for highest score among all cities accessed for energy efficiency by the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE) Ranked No. 13 among America s Fastest-Growing Cities 2016 Forbes, March 2016 Among the 52 Places to Go in 2016 New York Times, January 2016 I went from skeptic to believer. I ve tried CFLs before to see if we can recommend them, but was not impressed. After the first night of having LED lights, I was convinced that was the way to go. These lights are also night sky friendly. Amateur astronomers in the area are now able to see the sky from their yards. By switching to LEDs, we have been able to preserve some of our rural characteristics.
