HPS_to_LED_3000K_Equivalents.pdf

This is a technical specification document prepared by the City of Pasadena Department of Public Works that provides HPS to LED fixture equivalency information for a street light poles and fixtures restocking multi-year contract. The document establishes approved LED lighting options as replacements for traditional high-pressure sodium (HPS) fixtures across seven wattage categories, ranging from 22-watt to 160-watt HPS equivalents. For each HPS wattage tier, three LED manufacturers are specified with their corresponding models, wattage requirements, and lumen output: GE Evolve, Lumec RoadFocus Plus, and EOI Compass. The specifications indicate that LED conversions provide significant energy savings, with wattage reductions ranging from approximately 64% to 96% compared to their HPS counterparts while maintaining or exceeding lumen output in the 3000K color temperature range.

The specification chart notes that all luminaires must be supplied with wattage identification stickers and a 10-year standard warranty. The document emphasizes that the equivalencies provided are approximate and each installation location shall be individually analyzed to ensure compliance with Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) requirements. Finish color specifications may be requested as needed. The chart was last updated on August 5, 2026, and was prepared by E.J. This technical guide serves as the basis for vendor selection and procurement decisions under the City of Pasadena's multi-year street lighting modernization initiative.
