LED Roadway Lighting Ltd. (LRL), a Halifax-based manufacturer dedicated in LED-based street and area lighting products, announced a contract with Nova Scotia Power, an Emera Company, to supply up to 85,000 Satellite™ series fixtures for deployment across the province. The fixtures will be installed starting in Q4 2012.

The new light fixtures will replace existing 70 – 400 watt high-pressure sodium fixtures. The installation of the new energy efficient fixtures will provide energy savings of approximately 58% (or a total of 32,479,000 kwH per year).

In addition, the retrofit will yield greenhouse gas reductions of approximately 469,003 tonnes over 20 years, an amount equivalent to removing approximately 4,295 cars from the road.

This is the latest in a series of project awards announced by the company. Recent contract announcements have included Salford (UK) consisting of 24,000 fixtures, the Dominican Republic consisting of 8,000 fixtures, and a 72,000 fixture retrofit over the next five years with New Brunswick Power.
