Bath and North East Somerset Council was the first council to move to LED street lights on a major traffic route, a strategy that caught the attention of the national press back in July 2011. The scheme has now been running for two years and according to Bath 'has delivered beyond expectations' in terms of the savings and efficiencies predicted during the design stage. The equipment installed - Philips Speedstar luminaires with LEDgine technology and Xitanium driver with five-stage, multi-level standalone variable lighting profile - has also proved to be reliable. The success of the project led to the development of an extensive business case in 2011-12 and a capital investment of £2m during 2012-2013. This has enabled Bath and North East Somerset to become the first authority to convert its entire main road high-energy consuming traffic lighting to LED sources, a project that was completed in April this year.
