The direct rebound from LED floodlight retrofits at community sports grounds

A research poster from the School of Emergent Priorities estimates the direct rebound after 23 of 41 community sports grounds in one regional association retrofitted their floodlights with LED lamps under a small-grants round, finding a realised electricity saving of 40% against an engineered 54%. The take-back of about a quarter comes as extra floodlit hours and concentrates at grounds that were rationing evening training slots before the retrofit.
