46th Street Pilot Street Lighting Project

Status: Complete
Report Date: 01/17/2013

Summary:

Investigators installed 55 energy-efficient streetlights along a section of 46th Street in south Minneapolis. This project evaluated the cost-effectiveness and lighting quality of both LED and induction light technologies, and compared products from several manufacturers and vendors. LED streetlights were found to provide adequate lighting quality. This technology may soon be cost-effective for general use.
