WHY LEDS
LEDS VS. HIDS
Before we can see the benefits of LEDs over the technologies of the past, we need to know what those technologies are. High Intensity Discharge (HID) lights include; Mercury Vapor, Metal Halide, Ceramic Metal Halide, High Pressure Sodium (HPS), Xenon Short-Arc and Ultra-High Performance lamps, with HPS being the most common.

LEDs have received much recognition because of the energy and dollar savings associated with them; but there is another revolutionary benefit that some may not know about. LED light fixtures with micro-processors have the ability to communicate with modern computer technology. This means that a “smart grid” system can be utilized to program, monitor and control the fixtures from a remote location. The implications of this are vast and all the possible capabilities will reveal themselves as time goes on and these systems are developed. GreenStar intends to be a pioneer in this new realm and we are excited to implement our ideas to create safer and more efficient cities.
