1. Lighting Presentation – Ron Steedman, R.J. Steedman LLC. – Manufacturer
Cyclone Lighting.
Mr. Steedman introduced himself and gave a brief presentation on his proposal to
replace existing HPS/MH lighting luminaires with LED luminaires.
His proposes to use the existing pole mounting height, approximately 28'. By
using a similar mounting height to the existing we can design to use the same pole
locations as currently exist. We have run photometrics and the proposed LED
luminaires will meet FDOT lighting criteria.
The current proposal uses only one fixture per pole, however the design can be
modified to add a pedestrian scale luminaire at intersections. That is more of an
aesthetic issue as the single LED fixtures will meet FDOT design criteria.
