While both providing white light, LED (foreground) provides improved uniformity and energy
efficiency compared to induction (background upper right) but at a higher installed cost.
Introduction
Investigating ways to reduce en
ergy consumption and costs, the
Navy Technology Validation ( Techval)
Program, with support from the
Department of Energy, Federal Energy
Management Program, sought to dem
onstrate and compare induction and
LED lighting technologies as alterna
tives for parking area applications.

Conclusions
Table 9 summarizes the energy per
formance and economic analysis of
the lighting systems. The new lighting
systems provide notable reductions in
power and energy. However, the costs
are high, especially for the LED lumi
naires. The simple payback for each of
the demonstration projects was beyond
10 years.
Overall, the induction lighting system
offers some advantages over highpressure sodium lighting systems.
Longer lamp life, which will result in
maintenance savings
Higher correlated color tempera
ture, which results in a white light
appearance
