Georgia Power Converting Street Lights To Warm-Light LED

Over the next several months, Georgia Power will be systematically converting all of their residential subdivision street lights from the old pink-amber high-pressure sodium bulbs to new downward-facing LED fixtures. The new fixtures will retain the same traditional lantern-style streetlamp as the original fixtures. The power company is installing only "warm white" LED modules, which have a color temperature of 3,000 Kelvin (K)—the same color tone as warm white household LED bulbs and old incandescent bulbs. These LEDs have very little blue light as compared to LEDs in the 4,500 K to 6,500 K color range used for commercial and security applications.
