LIGHTFAIR International 2012 EAST CLEVELAND, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--From Las Vegas to Superior, Neb., GE’s Evolve™ LED Roadway fixtures are saving cities, big and small, a bundle on energy costs. With the installation of more than 41,000 GE Evolve LED streetlights, Las Vegas will reduce combined electricity and maintenance expenses to nearly $2.7 million a year, while in Superior, 600 LED fixtures have shaved $20,000 off annual spending for the town of 2,000. Whether a metropolis of millions or hometown to hundreds, GE’s LED street lighting savings are universal for all cities. Evolve LED Roadway fixtures yield up to a 50 percent reduction in system energy compared to standard high-intensity discharge (HID) systems. Las Vegas will use 20 million fewer kilowatt hours (kWhs) to power streetlights beginning in 2013. Since 2010, Superior has saved more than 200,000 kWhs a year thanks to GE’s energy-efficient fixtures.
