This report documents the process and results of a solid-state lighting technology demonstration on Franklin D. Roosevelt Drive (FDR Drive) in New York City (NYC) in which light-emitting diode (LED) luminaires were compared to the incumbent high-pressure sodium (HPS) luminaires and evaluated for light output and performance. The project was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solid-State Lighting Technology GATEWAY Demonstration Program in conjunction with the New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) and The Climate Group. NYCDOT selected LED luminaires from four different manufacturers: LSI Industries, LED Roadway Lighting Ltd. (LED Roadway), Elumen Lighting Networks Inc. (Elumen), and BetaLED. Six luminaires of each type were mounted back-to-back on three consecutive poles.
