Tucson Looking to Replace Street Lights With LED

Compared with the job Phoenix has ahead of it, replacing Tucson’s 20,000 street lights will seem easy. Both cities are planning to replace their current high-pressure sodium bulbs with LED bulbs, which are significantly longer lasting than what is used now in most cities. Phoenix will replace 90,000 bulbs in a plan city officials announced Wednesday. Tucson will release its plan in about six months, said city Transportation Director Darrell Cole.
