Case Study: City of Santa Cruz improves visibility and cuts energy use by 50%+ with Dialight LED lighting

City of Santa Cruz reduces lighting energy use by more than 50% with Dialight

The City of Santa Cruz faced significant challenges with the outdated high-pressure sodium and mercury vapor lighting at its wastewater treatment facility. The poor quality of light hindered visibility and security surveillance, while the fixtures required constant, costly maintenance. Seeking to reduce energy consumption and improve operations, the facility turned to Dialight for a modern LED lighting solution.

Dialight implemented its DuroSite LED fixtures, completing the installation of 82 new lights in just five days. This solution reduced the facility's lighting energy usage and costs by more than 50 percent, significantly lowered CO2 emissions, and dramatically improved visibility for security. With a rebate and minimal future maintenance required, Dialight helped the project achieve a payback period of approximately three years.
