St. Anthony plans to install LED light bulbs in city street lights

Thanks to the installation of new LED 50 watt light bulbs, St. Anthony stands to save nearly $1,000 a month on street light power expenses. That savings translates into $11,178 a year in cost reductions for power generated via St. Anthony’s 160 street lights. The city council met recently with its public works director Scott Butigan who announced the future purchase of new street light bulbs. He reported that in a deal with Rocky Mountain Power, the city can buy LED light bulbs for $76 each rather than the $111 they normally cost. The lights will also come with “photo eyes” that generate light as the sun starts to set.
