Owasso, OK (June 9, 2020)<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cI was honestly blown away by how much I like this new LED street light technology. It has improved my family’s quality of life.\u201d <\/p>

That\u2019s what Flagstaff, Arizona resident, Michael Finney, said about the new Crossroads LED street light that was recently installed by his home. \u201cI sleep significantly better at night. My bedroom is in the front corner of the house and I was not sleeping well because of the old street light shining into my bedroom. But with the new street light, my sleep has noticeably improved now that my room isn’t flooded with light.\u201d <\/p>

What Michael is referring to is the new \u201cAstrophile Series\u201d family of LED street lights by Crossroads LED. It is one of the first LED roadway fixtures designed exclusively for dark sky roadway lighting applications and incorporates several new and advanced features, such as their proprietary internally-mounted and fully-adjustable house side shields that prevent the \u201cAstrophile\u201d family of street lights from inadvertently illuminating private property and home owners\u2019 windows. <\/p>

\u201cToday, because of light pollution, one-third of the world and 80 percent of all Americans cannot see the Milky Way,\u201d stated Dana Stefanoff, President at Crossroads LED. \u201cAnd street lights are the primary cause of sky glow which obscures the stars and creates perpetual twilight.\u201d To solve these issues, Crossroads LED took their patented modular LED system and added deeply recessed next generation low kelvin LEDs within the housing, thus eradicating sky glow and glare. <\/p>

Due to the confusion within the lighting industry as to what constitutes a \u201cdark sky compliant\u201d fixture, the IDA developed the rigorous Fixture Seal of Approval (FSA) program to provide objective, third-party certification for LED lighting that ensures all approved fixtures minimize glare, reduce light trespass and eliminate light pollution. Crossroads LED, an innovative worldwide leader in LED lighting technology, has received the coveted Fixture Seal of Approval for their advanced design and utilization of LED\u2019s with a kelvin temperature of 2000K and below. <\/p>

Pete Strasser, the Technical Director for the International Dark-Sky Association stated, \u201cWe welcome Crossroads to our Fixture Seal of Approval program. At present, Crossroads LED is the only participating company offering warm LEDs of 2000K and below. As people experience high brightness, white LEDs, we’re seeing a resurgence in the desire for warm light.\u201d <\/p>

Designed to reduce light pollution and skyglow, the “Astrophile Series” family of Narrow Band Amber (NBA) and Phosphor Converted Amber (PCA) street lights deliver exceptional performance and reliability. \u201cOur lights have available outputs ranging from 2000 to 18,000+ lumens with color temperatures indistinguishable from LPS and HPS lamps. They meet or exceed all known dark sky specifications for roadway lights. Additionally, what makes the \u2018Astrophile Series\u2019 stand out is our patented modular component systems that make all the internal components 100% field replaceable and allow for future technological upgrades without having to purchase a new fixture,\u201d commented Buddy Stefanoff, Vice President of Engineering for Crossroads. <\/p>

The advanced LED dies, developed in partnership with the worldwide leader in LED technology, Bridgelux, generate extremely low kelvin temperature lighting while providing high performance and energy efficiency. Tim Lester, CEO of Bridgelux remarked, \u201cWe congratulate our great partner, Crossroads, on receiving the prestigious IDA seal of approval for its \u2018Astrophile Series\u2019 family of LED street lights. Of course, Crossroads has long been known for their great engineering, beautiful fixtures and high quality. The recognition from the IDA is further evidence of their leadership in providing human friendly and environmentally responsible outdoor lighting.\u201d <\/p>
