City moves ahead with plan to convert streetlights to LED

Nine months ago, the city abruptly tabled its plan to convert Oahu's street lights to more environmentally-friendly LEDs because of contract issues. Now, it's moving forward with the project to replace some 53,500 sodium lights. Robert Kroning, director of the city Department of Design and Construction, said he thinks residents will notice a significant improvement when LEDs light up the night.
