19. Walkway lightingLight Specs Expected Life: 80,000 hrs Housing: Corrosion and Immersion resistant Field proven to last 20 years with no maitenance Lens Temperature stays cool Electrical : 120VAC 50/60hz input Adjustable lighting tilt 1644 lumen output per 22 watt input About 75 lumen/watts Flood and spot light choices

20. Walkway lighting Manufacturer Choice We looked at products from several manufacturers. However, LSI Industries really stood out with their Crossover XIG In-ground light product. What we looked for in a manufacturer: Proven track record Quality customer support

21. Walkway lighting Placement Staggered pattern along the walkway Shape would look similar to a series of W’s 10 degree tilt inwards to the walkway. 9ft apart Flood setup for wider beam 3 lights placed in the semi-circular monument section Spotlight setup 3 lights in each wall of the amphitheater, tilted towards the stage 10/10/5 degree tilts Flood setup

22. Walkway lightingCost and Power Consumption Number of lights needed to light 760ft pathway, monuments and amphitheater: 93 $750 per light $69,750 (LED is expensive!) Power Consumption: 2.05 kW Annual Energy cost: $1,408.96

23. Walkway lighting Cost Comparison Similar metal halide light costing $550.00 60 watt Initial cost: $51,150 Difference: -$18,600 Annual Energy Cost: $3,842.61 Difference: +$2433.65 7.6 years to make up the cost of initial investment due to energy savings

24. Energy Harvesting Solar Panels will be placed in the grass across the site to preserve energy for the Jefferson underpass These panels will help lower the amount of power used and make the area more eco-friendly.
