Officials with the City of Tucson decided to replace 600 hundred high pressure sodium lighting fixtures with Cooper Lighting OVH Cobrahead LED luminaires. City officials hoped to reduce to reduce costs as part of an American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)-funded project. The existing inefficient lighting fixtures were illuminating the streets throughout neighborhoods of Tucson. Because the lighting was costing the city in both maintenance and energy costs, officials applied for and received approximately $425,000 for a total upgrade to LED lighting.
After reviewing and testing several manufacturers' luminaire products, officials ultimately chose to replace the fixtures with Cooper Lighting's OVH LED Cobrahead luminaire. In addition to the cost savings these luminaires would offer, the city officials preferred the fixture's design and the lighting performance quality it would offer the neighborhood streets.
