According to Times Record News, the city of Witchita Falls, Texas, is planning to complete the transformation of the LED street light, which began 10 years ago. The City Council approved the $2 million 800 thousand project. At present, at least 2490 road lighting devices have been switched to LED, which plans to upgrade the remaining 5727 high pressure sodium lamps, metal halide lamps and mercury vapor road lamps to LED.

Ameresco, a company that has been cooperating with the city, estimates that new lights can save about 2 million 800 thousand kilowatt hours of electricity every year. In addition, the Eaton Corp lighting company Cooper lighting provides a 10 year warranty, which is expected to save maintenance costs. Ameresco and the city estimated that the project could be completed within four to five months.

Cooper Lighting evaluates the life expectancy of LED street lamps for about 20 years at the current rate of use. In general, the city expects the project to eventually take back the cost through savings. The cost saved will be used for future upgrades. (Editor: LED network James)
