Evaluation of LED Roadway Luminaries

This study compares LED luminaries with traditional High Pressure Sodium luminaries to evaluate their effectiveness in terms of energy consumption, environmental benefit, and safety. Objectives of the research include a detailed photometric performance analysis of LED roadway luminaries, evaluation of existing lighting infrastructure to determine compatibility with LED luminaries, a thorough cost-benefit analysis, and analysis of light output from the perspective of safety and driver perception.
