August 13, 2010... Lighting Science Group has completed the installation of its Prolific series of street lights along the streets of Banyeres de Mariola Alicante, Spain. The company boasts that its Prolifc Series of street lights are 50 percent more efficient than traditional HID street lights, provide more uniform light distribution, increase light levels, and save Banyeres de Mariola Alicante thousands of dollars in energy cost over the life of the fixtures.   Lighting Science claims that the street lights are maintenance free.

An independent laboratory reportedly tested the Prolific series under the rigorous LM-79 process approved by the U.S. Department of Energy's CALiPER program. According to Lighting Science, the test results show that the Prolific street lights outperform competing products on the market.  Furthermore, the company says that the maintenance-free Prolific LED technology eliminates costly re-lamping and re-ballasting of HID street lights and direct line wiring is used in place of starters or capacitors to further eliminate traditional maintenance issues.

"The Prolific series LED street lights bring into balance the need to responsibly illuminate roadways and reducing energy consumption and maintenance cost.  The Prolific series is the perfect solution for communities and cities all around the world that are looking reduce energy use," said Zach Gibler, Chief Executive Officer of Lighting Science Group.  "I would like to thank Eyeleds Spain SL for introducing our cutting edge products into Spain and INELBO S.A.U. for installing them."
