Benefits of LED Lighting for Nevada Municipalities: Energy Savings

LED Lighting NevadaNevada clearly aims to play a major role in the sustainable lighting revolution.

The state has embarked on an exciting, ambitious new LED street lighting push. Together with other energy efficiency projects, this massive switch to LED technology should save Nevada cities and counties over $300,000 in energy expenditures over the next few years, in addition to offering benefits, such as:

  • Longer life. In contrast to the old HPS bulbs, LED fixtures last significantly longer (15-20 years versus 3-5 years).
  • Modern look. The new LED lights present a more contemporary image.
  • Better visibility. Brighter lights mean safer streets.

Recent Municipal LED Street Lighting Projects

Thanks to $1.5 million in funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), Nevada communities recently gained the ability to make street lighting more effective and efficient. All over the state, cities and counties have implemented LED projects, including:

  • Street lights. 4,500 LED roadway lighting units now stretch across Nevada streets.
  • Traffic lights. The familiar red, yellow, and green lights in 1,226 traffic signals in various NV counties and cities now boast LED technology.

These attractive energy-saving LED outdoor lights will certainly contribute to the safety and wellbeing of communities for years to come.
