In fact, the light has been engineered to deliver 30+ years of service life, including the ability to replace the LEDs in the unit. Additionally, SecureLite was engineered to deliver a better quality of light that enhances visibility, minimizes light pollution, and is Dark Sky compliant. SecureLite incorporates PowerSecure’s breakthrough proprietary dusk-to-dawn control technology which maximizes its efficiency and reliability.Additionally, PowerSecure announced today that it has introduced two new LED-based street lights to the marketplace, including replacements for traditional 250 and 400 watt HID street lighting. Called “PowerLitesTM”, these lights incorporate the same superior engineering as the SecureLite, designed to deliver utilities and municipalities a strong combination of efficiency, environmental, and maintenance benefits for higher wattage applications. PowerSecure’s area lights and street lights are available through PowerSecure’s EnergyLite business unit, which can be found at www.energylite.com.Sidney Hinton, CEO of PowerSecure, said, "We are excited about the pickup we are seeing in our new SecureLite area light product.
