Eversource Converting Street Lights To LEDs

Eversource is in the second year of a five-year program to convert streetlights in cities and towns over to more energy-efficient LEDs. The utility is responsible for the streetlights in some 125 cities and towns across the state and hopes to replace roughly 125,000 lights by 2021. “There’s an obvious difference– the color temperature, the way they glow, the amount of light they give off,” said Eversource spokesman Mitch Gross. “They are very popular not only with homeowners, but with town officials as well.”
