Beaufort streetlights to use LEDs

A new program in the City of Beaufort (South Carolina) is lighting the way to helping save money and the environment. All streetlights in the City of Beaufort will be switched to LEDs.

The city will be reducing energy consumption as a community by more than 386,000 kilowatt hours a year. To put that in some perspective, an average household can use between 10,000-12,000 kilowatt hours a year.

That means the city will save the energy of about 38 households in the next year.
