SWindsor eyes switch to LED streetlights

The South Windsor Energy Committee has recommended the Town Council undertake an LED streetlight retrofitting program. Energy Committee Chairman and former Councilman Stephen Wagner said the LED conversion plan makes sense by any metric. “It benefits the town by improving the quality of lighting,” Wagner said. “It also saves money that can be used other ways.”  Wagner said LEDs also carry some aesthetic benefits. They give off a more uniform distribution of light and are compliant with voluntary “dark sky” rules aimed at reducing light pollution.
