Many municipalities are changing to use of the LED street lighting fixtures due to some reasons that include the following. For the last few years, it has been noted that municipalities have started using the LED Street lights instead of the traditional high pressure sodium lights HPS. This is mainly due to the fact that the LED street lighting fixtures are of higher quality and very efficient as well as effective in energy consumption.

SUNPER is one of the nations with the largest electric utilities. Of late, we are going to have a partnership with the local governments. This will be in the quest to upgrade the roadways as well as streets to a better quality of the LED street lighting fixtures. Shifting from HPS use to the LED Street lights shall not only increase safety, but also provide higher quality light. By doing so, improving energy efficiency will also be possible.

The spectrum of the white light shall provide residents with a clear view of the street signs, pedestrians as well as bicyclists at night. Since the LED light is usually directional, the roadways will be illuminated evenly thereby eliminating the dark patches or the hot spots that may impact motorists. In addition to this, the LEDs usually use less energy in order to generate same amount of lumens output with a considerable longer lifespan.

Department of Environment Protection DEP in Pennsylvania is really helping the local municipalities to take full advantages of the energy efficient LED street lighting fixtures. This will help to better the quality of these lights in their respective roadways. In order to achieve this aim, the DEP has come up with a series of various workshops for the municipal officials. These workshops shall assist the city leaders to understand better about the LED technology, calculation of the savings potential as well as the various steps involved when upgrading the LED street lighting fixtures. Apart from reducing the energy use as well as saving taxpayers much money, they will also upgrade to the higher quality street lighting system that are aimed at preventing crimes in the local communities.

This move by the municipalities to boost their efforts in replacing the less efficient lights with higher energy efficient lights was received favorably by the citizens. The local residents want the governments to be concerned with environment as well as be fiscally responsible with the taxpayer resources. By upgrading roadways to the energy efficient lighting helps greatly in accomplishing these goals while at the same time increasing the safety for the citizens travelling at night.
