Streetlight LED Conversion

[The85]

I've been following the maps and virtually all of Cambridge, as well as St Jacobs, Elmira, Conestogo, Ayr, Heidelberg, St. Clements, and Breslau are mostly complete. Now to see who gets done next - Kitchener or Waterloo

Probably Waterloo as Kitchener is going for the fixtures with wireless frequencies. Kitchener Wilmot Hydro also puts all of their street lights on relay circuit switches where a single photoelectric sensor will turn on dozens of lights at once. Waterloo North and Energy+ use individual photoelectric sensors right on the lights themselves, which is fairly industry standard so it's easier to switch these out first in their respective municipalities. Lights in KW Hydro's jurisdiction will likely have to have a different switch technology overall if they wish to continue using the relay circuit system.

I have noticed the features are quite dim on arterial roads. In general, it looks like there are only 2-3 types of LED luminaires they're using. In particular, Hespeler Road between Pinebush and the Delta is the worst as the poles are so high and had higher wattage high pressure sodium fixtures before. On the other hand, the fixtures used on the side residential streets are pefect. Anyone else notice this?
