"Energy Conservation: It Starts with Awareness" was the theme for the 2009 Energy Awareness Month at Bolling Air Force Base in Washington, D.C. The
U.S. Department of Energy promotes the national Awareness Month campaign each
October.
Among the key goals leaders and energy stewards from the Air Force District
of Washington sought to accomplish through the program was to showcase the
base as a nationally recognized model for energy and water conservation. It
was the same vision for an energy-efficient future that was behind AFDW’s
participation in the national Energy Star Pledge movement of the Energy Department.
Most probably the same concerns led them recently to decide to replace some
of the power-hogging street lamps on the base grounds with eco-friendly LED
lights from Torrance, California-based LEDtronics, Inc.
In the top photo at right, 56 units of M400 Cobrahead-style LEDtronics streetlight
luminaires light Chappie James Boulevard that centrally runs the length of the
base. At 82 watts each, the SLL002P-3D60W-XPW-004 cobraheads replaced 250W and
400W HPS luminaires.
In the bottom photo, several hundred 27-watt, acorn-style LED30MH-600-XPW-001
street lamps keep the base’s streets well lit at night. The low-wattage
screw-in, retro-fit LED bulbs replaced high-power 100-watt HPS bulbs.
Two LED lighting products from LEDtronics illuminate inside and outside the
pedestrian tunnel: a set of 20-watt SLL003PC-400-XPW-005 ceiling/wall Slim
Line Shoebox luminaires light up the pedestrian tunnel (see photo link at bottom
of page); another set of 20-watt SLL003P-400-XPW-004 pole-mount Slim Line Shoebox
luminaires lights the walkway leading into and out of the tunnel.
In use since it was founded in 1918 on the east side of the Potomac River,
Bolling AF Base is home of the USAF 11th Wing, "The Chief's Own." Once
an important airfield in the Air Force's inventory, Bolling was made into the
headquarters for all Air Force operations in the National Capital Region in
1985.
In addition to the AFDW, Bolling AFB is host to a variety of organizations
representing a cross-section of the Air Force, from base-level offices to Headquarters
for the Office of Special Investigations, the Air Force Surgeon General and
the Air Force Chief of Chaplains. Bolling also serves as a diverse military
community, housing families of all services and hosting one of the largest
defense organizations—the Defense Intelligence Agency Center.
