Walsall Council to convert streetlights to low Energy LED lighting

Walsall Council’s plan to convert 23,000 streetlights to low energy LED lighting is due to reach completion this April. The initiative began in April 2022 and is projected to deliver significant reductions in energy usage and carbon emissions.

Alongside the lantern conversion, the council have installed remote monitoring that allows them to identify issues and control lighting levels.

LED light direction eliminates glare and reduces light pollution. Residents have experience minimal disruption during the conversion, with each light taking less than 30 minutes to change.
