The City of Vaughan, Ontario (Canada) has issued a RFEOI in relation to the procurement of the design, finance, install, maintain and operate the city led street light replacement program. 

An organization called Local Authority Services (LAS), published a report in 2010, entitled “Ontario Guiding Lights – Street Lighting” to help inform Ontario municipality’s decision making around existing and new street light applications. This report assesses various aspects of street lighting including technological, economic, and environmental performance of current and emerging technologies. The key findings of the report are abbreviated below:

• A retrofit solution exists for HPS (high pressure sodium) fixture replacement programs that enhances energy efficiency and mitigates environmental issues.
• The significant energy savings for LED and Induction street lighting stated in the product design evaluations have been verified by actual field testing. Induction products have proven acceptable as a new fixture retrofit. Current LED products proved to unsatisfactory as an economic application to existing infrastructure due to light output and coverage weakness.
