The VRLX Opportunity
Cities Need to Reduce Streetlight Operating Costs
• 35% to 50% of Electricity Budget for Streetlights
• Maintenance Costs Driven by Bulb Failures
• Carbon Emission Credits at Stake
LED Streetlights Not Economically Viable
• Don’t Pay for Themselves
• Hidden Operating Costs
• Untenable Acquisition Costs
• Dangerous Lighting Spectrum
• Harmful to the Environment

LEDs Never Pay for Themselves
• LEDs Light Output Fully Depleted in 12 Years
• LED Power Supply Fails Every 5 or 6 Years
VARILUX Pays for Itself in 5 Years “Lumen Depletion” means entire LED fixture must be
replaced after 12 years.
No Payback With LEDs
Due To “Lumen Depletion”

LED Acquisition Cost
All values are based on 12 Year Operation with 150W HPS
compared to 84W LED. Cost of Electricity based on $0.07 per
Kilowatt-Hour. ROI in 3 Years with higher power luminaires
and more expensive power costs.

Inflection In Market Trajectory
• Federal Government
– Rationalizes Solid State Lighting
– Encourages LED Streetlight Subsidies
– Disagrees with Health and
Environmental Warnings
• Local Government
– Apparently Misled by LED Manufacturers
– Uncertain of Actual LED Operating Costs
• American Medical Association
– Blue Light from LEDs is Hazardous
– Recommends 3000K LEDs that are Less Efficient
– Rising Awareness Among Residents
• Broken Promises
– LEDs Only Last 12 Years
– Power Supply Lasts 5 years
– No Return of Taxpayer Investment
AMA Recommends “warm LEDs” having a Color
Temperature of 3000 Kelvin (K) or less. These are less
energy efficient than LED proponents admit.
