Abstract

See full text

A method, apparatus, and system for operating wide area lighting systems. Operating costs, as well as capital and installation costs, can be reduced by designing the lighting system for operation of individual light sources at a first “normal” operating power for a majority of the time but having the ability to boost or increase operating power for “boosted” or increased light output for the same light sources of the system for a minority of cumulative operating time of the light sources. “”In one aspect, performance data about the LED light sources is evaluated relative to whether or not the light sources will have a predicted life expectancy on the order of the entire lighting system life expectancy. Operating power levels for boosted and normal LED lumen outputs are selected to comport with predictably meeting or exceeding lighting system life expectancy.
