Benefits of Municipal LED Street Lighting

Lower Costs by Switching to Outdoor LED Lighting

Whether you’re a municipalities officer exploring low-cost outdoor LED lighting projects, or you’re a project manager looking to lower costs, improve public safety, and reduce energy waste, here’s a quick primer on municipal LED street lighting.

• True fact: street lighting can consume up to 25% (or more!) of a city’s electrical bill.
• Old, inefficient street lighting can contribute to safety hazards for many reasons. First of all, when people can’t see well, they’re more likely to get into accidents. Secondly, bad street lighting can contribute to crime.
• Inefficient street lighting can also create ongoing maintenance headaches and act as an energy vampire.
• Inefficient street lighting can drive away commerce, which in turn can drive down real estate values and reduce the city’s tax revenue.
• In other words, street lighting can have a powerful, multi dynamic effect on the health and wealth of a municipality.

Switching over to LED lighting in Nevada or California can lead to a variety of benefits:

• LED technology has come a long way over the past few years.
• Installation will create work for contractors in your city — help fuel the local economy.
• You can enjoy financial incentives from the state for making the transition to LED and potentially benefit from utility tariffs that will help you save over the long term.
