Mayor Emanuel has announced that the City is conducting a public demonstration of next-generation streetlights in seven neighborhoods as part of the Chicago Smart Lighting Project, which will upgrade streetlights across the city. Residents are being asked to provide feedback on the new lighting, which represents the latest advances in lighting technology, through the end of the year.

Venture Lighting Europe has created a brand new, advanced retrofit LED solution for street lighting with exceptional benefits for Local Authorities. The company has created the VLED Westminster module, incorporating its very latest lighting technology SUPRAX® glass optic, as a retrofit solution for street lighting luminaires. Resulting in highly efficient lumen packages, this solution offers unrivalled energy savings.
