City replacing outdoor lights at Ala Moana Park with LEDs

The city of Honolulu has kicked off a $1.25 million project to convert the exterior lights at Ala Moana Park to energy-saving LEDs. As part of the project, which will wrap up this summer, crews will replace 570 lights around the park. The city said the LED lights will use 60% less energy and save $80,000 in electricity costs annually.
