Meriden replacing thousands of streetlight bulbs with LEDs

Workers are replacing the sodium bulbs in over 4,200 streetlights with LED bulbs that are expected to save the city $9 million over the next two decades. The $2.5 million project consists of buying the LED bulbs from Eversource Energy and replacing the lights on all city-owned utility poles, said Stephen Montemurro, the city information technology director.
