Babylon has replaced only 10 of 13,250 LED bulbs in streetlights

More than one year after the Town of Babylon hoped to have finished installing energy-saving LED bulbs in all 13,250 of its streetlights, it has replaced only 10, town officials said. Those 10 were part of a 2015 pilot project in Copiague, town spokesman Kevin Bonner said. The project’s complexity is to blame for the delay, said Tom Stay, Babylon’s commissioner of public works. But the wait could save the town $440,000 off the original estimated project cost of more than $3 million, he said.
