BACKGROUND In 2002, the California Energy Commission adopted standards for vehicular traffic signal lamps and modules, adding standards for pedestrian lamps in 2004. The state mandate now requires traffic signals to be energy efficient by utilizing L.E.D. technology. This program will replace incandescent traffic signal lamps with L.E.D. technology throughout the City. The 2009-10 effort is the fourth phase of the 5 -year program that will replace signal lamps with L.E.D. modules at 24 intersections identified on the attached vicinity map. The existing incandescent traffic signal lamps utilize 150 watts per lamp. Once the incandescent lamps are replaced with L.E.D. technology, the wattage will be reduced to 10 watts per lamp, resulting in an average energy consumption reduction of 93 percent. Staff anticipates that next year's 2010-11 replacement effort will be the fifth and final phase. Upon completion of the replacement program, the energy savings program scope will change from replacement of incandescent bulbs to maintenance of Light Emitting Diodes.
