USA. Lehigh Township Supervisors are considering replacing traditional traffic signal light bulbs with LED lights to save money and energy.
According to Supervisor Sandra Hopkins ,the township pays about $816 a month for electricity for its traffic signals, amounting to nearly $10,000 a year. So the township would have to outlay some money to replace the bulbs. The replacement cost would be $23,000," Hopkins said.
Hopkins said a state government association claims the township will see a minimum of 60 percent savings while a private consultant and installer of LED lights said the township could see up to 80 percent savings.
