The parking lot consists of two 136 W 4000K LED "roadway" lights on 6 foot support arms attached to wooden poles. Each light produces 17,400 lumens (initial). These lights are owned and maintained by DTE. The club pays a monthly fee that covers the cost of the installation, maintenance and electricity. | |||
The parking lot lights were upgraded in late summer 2020. The original 175 W mercury vapor fixtures were removed and the south end pole was replaced as part of the job. From the date of installation, the club is bound to the program for 5 years (through 2025). | |||
Lower wattage LED fixtures were considered, but a trade-off was made to significantly improve the light output at the cost of some energy savings. | |||
Two other proposals from DTE were reviewed, but ultimately deemed too expensive. These proposals involved installation of 5 x 88 W LEDs, either on 5 separate poles or on 3 poles (2 with dual heads). These proposals would have required some amount of underground trenching. | |||
