LED Lighting: Have You Made the Switch?

The city finds itself at odds with Duke Energy again — this time about streetlights. The city would like to start using street lamps powered by light-emitting diode, commonly called LED, as a way to save money. LED bulbs use 50 percent to 60 percent less energy than traditional lamps and provide better-quality light, Greensboro Transportation Director Adam Fischer said. Using LED bulbs should reduce the city’s $3.3 million annual streetlight bill.
