Al Ain Municipality in Abu Dhabi wanted to replace their street lighting to reduce costs and carbon emissions. GE proposed using ERS LED lights which would save on energy and maintenance costs. The LED lights are expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by over 234,000 kg per year and save $113,000 annually on energy costs. The solution would pay for itself within 4.57 years while providing better light quality and road safety.

4. „Garden City” with
improved illumination and
better energy efficiency.
The new lighting solution is expected to achieve a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions of
about 516,831 lbs. (234,431 kg) per year. The lighting solutions have also reduced glare and
improved light control, which adds to road safety.
In addition, the long lifespan of up to 50,000 hours and reduced maintenance requirements
mean the ERS solution has provided the ideal match to Al Ain Municipality’s requirements.
