CREDP-GIZ and VINLEC start LED Streetlight Project
On 4th February 2013, CREDP-GIZ and VINLEC officially have started the practical works of the LED Street Light Pilot project in St. Vincent. In a staged field test street lights from 6 manufacturers using light emitting diodes (LED) technology are being tested for their suitability to be employed under Caribbean conditions. The prospective energy savings are between 40 and 50% compared to regular high pressure sodium (HPS) lamps of the same light strength. Until the end of March 2013 the lamps will be tested in weekly intervals, including a survey among passers-by about their personal preception of the light quality. The project is a co-operation between CREDP-GIZ, VINLEC and the Austrian Development Agency (ADA) who sponsored the procurement of the lamps. Results of the pilot are expected by end of May 2013 and will be applicable to other Caribbean territories too. For more information please download the project factsheet  or contact CREDP-GIZ.
