Lighting Science Group (LSG) and Office for Visual Interaction (OVI) have been selected by the New York City Department of Design and Construction to engineer, produce, and test the winning design of the City Lights Design Competition. The international competition was held in 2004 to select a new streetlight design for New York City (see “Highlight: City Lights,” Jan/Feb 2005, p. 16). OVI has partnered with LSG to engineer, produce, and test the prototypes of the winning LED-based streetlight design of which OVI was a team member. Engineering work has begun, and the testing of the prototypes will occur in spring 2009.
