LED Ornamental Streetlight Conversion Program
Project Details
As of spring 2025, the City has now converted almost all of the City-owned ornamental streetlight fixtures to LED lighting. All existing and retrofitted LED metal streetlights have GPS coordinates, notes on the pole condition, existing/new LED and changes to wattage. The GPS data assists in City infrastructure record management, maintenance, warranty and billing processes.
LED Streetlight Facts
By the end of 2022, 1,152 streetlights were converted to LED.
As of April 2025, 3,065 streetlights were converted to LED.
By converting streetlights to LED, the approximate annual savings will be $189,000!

- Reduction in maintenance costs. The lights have an expected 20-year lifespan compared to 5-year lifespan for the HPS lights.
- Even light distribution.
- Light trespass reduction.
