City Oahu to replace all street lights with LED's

Changes are coming to street lights on Oahu. The city is moving ahead with plans to replace the current lights with new light emitting diodes, or LED's, over the next several years. The lights are similar to the ones that have been installed as part of the state's H-1 Freeway Rehabilitation Project. The Department of Transportation said any new street lighting projects will use the new LED fixtures. The city is going a step further. Mayor Kirk Caldwell wants to replace all 51,700 lights on city streets with LED's.
