10,000 LED street lights installed in Essex helping to save taxpayers £600,000 per year

Essex County Council says 10,000 energy-saving LED streetlights have now been installed across the county. These are the first phase of a £9.2 million programme to replace 19,000 conventional lights with LEDs on main roads and junctions in Essex. Converting these all-night streetlights to LEDs will save Essex taxpayers an estimated £600,000 each year as LEDs use less electricity and last longer.
