Though High Intensity Discharge (HID) technology has long been the market leader for outdoor lighting, Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are rapidly edging out the competition as consumers realize their benefits. LEDs are a wise choice for an HID lighting retrofit because they are more energy efficient, have a longer lifetime, reduce lifetime maintenance, are dimmable, and produce higher quality light. The below documents show the potential energy savings of an HID retrofit with LED.
