Town of North Hempstead continues LED light quest

The Town of North Hempstead installed 80 new light emitting diode bulbs along Hillside Avenue in New Hyde Park, town officials announced recently, in a move aimed to save money and boost safety. The new LED high-pressure sodium streetlight fixtures, which run from Denton Avenue to the New York City border on Hillside Avenue, replace older incandescent 250-watt fixtures, ranging between 30 and 40 years old, with 110 watt ones that have a light temperature of 4000K.
