U.S. City Seeks Feedback on LED Streetlight Installations

News Source: 

Officials in Gloucester, Massachusetts, U.S. are seeking public input on the new LED streetlights installed around the city, according to a Gloucester Times report.

Local residents can join the sampling test of two types of LEDs.

The different lighting is being considered by the city’s Department of Planning and Development to be installed on the west side of the city.

Four poles are installed with the two types of lights, a warmer colored 3,000K light and the other 4,000K LED light.

The city might consider the lower level lights if the cost number was equivalent, after hearing a number of residents feedback, including participants in a local amateur astronomy club, said Matt Coogan, senior planner with the city’s community development department, and Jim Destino, the city’s chief of administration.

The city has taken ownership of an estimated 2,800 streetlights in 2014 from National Grid and is planning to replace all the lights.

Gloucester borrowed US $1 million in advance of the project, but is expected to reduce costs by US $340,000 through state grants for the green communities’ project, and additional energy rebates from National Grid.

The city council estimates the new lighting project will cut energy bills by US $130,000 a year, that tentatively the city project is set to pay off in less than six years, said Destino.
