Abstract

This paper proposes the replacement of a discharge lamp by a LED compact module in a specific public lighting luminaire of Curitiba city. This aims to reduce energy consumption, to increase the useful life, the quality and the continuity of the service provided by the city street lighting system. This discusses the history of public lighting service in the city. This shows how the evolution of light - emitting diodes was and how, being mere flags, they got transformed in helpful lighting devices. It presents lighting concepts and normative requirements to develop a project on public lighting. It brings the preliminary tests of the lamp, that was enrolled in the study, in its original configurations, as well as the tests made with it equipped with the LED compact module, that was developed. The paper also compares the tests results and lists the difficulties encountered in achieving the established goals.
