ISLAND OF ARUBA SAVES ENERGY AND MAINTENANCE WITH LED ROADWAY LIGHTING

In October of 2015, LRL entered a supply contract with NV ELMAR and the Government of Aruba for a full conversion of Aruba’s public street lighting system to LED technology. Completed in 2017, the installation consists of approximately 14,000 smart grid-enabled NXT luminaires. The NXT luminaires are equipped with onboard NIC (network interface cards) cards.

NV ELMAR has initially installed more than 2,000 such
luminaires.

NV ELMAR has initially installed more than 2,000 such luminaires, the first in 2011. The photos above shows NXT luminaires installed on the newly constructed Hato Roundabout located north of the city of Oranjestad.

Delivering 63% Energy Savings, Reduced Maintenance Costs, and 44,223 tonnes of GHG Reductions.

The conversion to LED roadway lighting resulted in energy savings of approximately 63% versus the incumbent technology. In addition to energy and maintenance cost savings, this conversion is an important element in Aruba’s long-term sustainability program. Over 20 years, it is expected that the conversion will yield Green House Gas (GHG) reductions of 44,223 tonnes.
