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.
