The City of Chicago has installed new Borealis LED streetlights as part of a test pilot program, according to PolyBrite International, Inc., developer of the Borealis® brand Light Emitting Diode (LED) Lighting Systems. The City of Chicago will monitor the LED streetlights, weighed against their current lighting solution for streets and alleyways. The goal is for a safer, cleaner and brighter light that will improve nighttime safety and the overall appearance of the city.
Motion sensors and lighting controls can also be used with Borealis LED lighting since they can be turned on and off instantly. Furthermore, Borealis LED streetlights are better equipped to withstand extreme hot and cold temperatures and provide more control over what is illuminated, thus reducing light pollution, making it an appealing solution for public lighting applications.
