The City of Penticton is preparing to install an adaptive street lighting system
- among the first of its kind to be installed in British Columbia - that will
help the municipality reduce its environmental footprint, improve street
lighting and cut maintenance costs, Streetlight Intelligence Inc. (TSX
VENTURE:SLQ) announces.


"We are pleased to see Penticton join other BC communities in reaping the energy
and cost-savings benefits of intelligent streetlight management," said Vince
Krynski, CEO of Streetlight Intelligence, headquartered in Victoria. "The
typical Canadian municipality spends about one-third of its energy budget on
street lighting and our system can reduce that amount by up to 50 per cent."


The City-owned and operated electric utility will install the Lumen IQ(TM)
Streetlight Optimization System. Penticton has ordered lamp heads into which
Streetlight Intelligence will pre-install its Lumen IQ(TM) C200 Lamp
Controllers. The system also includes a Lumen IQ(TM) Station Communication Hub,
which allows all of the lights to be centrally controlled.


"This initiative will not only make us a more sustainable community by reducing
our power consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, it is also a powerful way to
save on maintenance costs," said Penticton Mayor Jake Kimberley.


Terry Andreychuk, General Manager of the Electric Utility, says this initiative
will offer substantial energy savings and an increased life span for
streetlights fitted with the technology. Although initially it is being
implemented as a pilot project it could result in potential savings to the City
in the tens of thousands of dollars. The City will also be able to take
advantage of rebate incentives under the FortisBC's Power Sense Program. The
anticipated energy and maintenance savings, combined with support from Fortis
BC's Power Sense program means installation of this technology will pay for
itself within four or five years.


The Lumen IQ(TM) Streetlight Optimization System uses wireless technology that
allows municipalities to monitor and control individual streetlights via the
Internet. Any number of lights can be turned on or off, or dimmed, to reduce
over-lighting in specific areas and during times when there is little or no
pedestrian traffic. It also reduces light pollution and energy wastage as well
as extending bulb life by 20 per cent.


The Lumen IQ(TM) has achieved significant success in BC. All 70 streetlights on
the newly opened William R. Bennett Bridge in Kelowna contain Lumen IQ(TM)
controllers, helping to make this one of the most technologically-advanced
sections of roadway in Canada. The system has also been installed in Prince
George, where the City partnered with BC Hydro and netted energy savings of 40
per cent with no noticeable change in lighting quality.
