LED Streetlight Project

What is LED Light Emitting Diode Technology?

LED stands for “Light Emitting Diode.”  Each diode in an LED streetlight lamp can be controlled to light a specific area meaning less light is lost and less energy is used which equals a longer life span.

Why we are making the change to LED Streetlights?

• LED streetlights use less energy and last four times longer than the existing high pressure sodium (HPS) light bulbs.
• The new lighting system will reduce the Town’s annual electricity consumption for streetlights by an estimated 50%—equivalent to nearly 100 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions.
• LED streetlights improve roadway illumination as they emit a white light with little light pollution outside of the road corridor.

When will the LED Streetlight Conversion Program begin?

The LED Streetlight Conversion Program has been completed.
