Street lighting Dimming Trial

This report sets out to initiate a trial-based approach to implementing a borough-wide variable lighting regime to achieve significant carbon and energy savings.

As part of a joint project with Reading and Wokingham by 2018, most streetlights were replaced with LEDs. Immediately after the new network was up and running, the lighting output was set at 70%. This dimming by 30% can now be considered our baseline. Since 2018, the Council’s inventory of street lighting has increased, not least by adoption of the former SSE network on the Slough Trading Estate. However, no further assessment of its efficiency and cost-effectiveness has been carried out to date.
