LED lights consume a fraction of the electricity consumed by metal halide or high pressure sodium lights to produce an equivalent amount light. LED street lights offer advantages over older lighting technologies and can reduce electricity consumption for street lighting by 75%. LED fixtures will save Scarborough money. Implementing this project offers significant financial benefits to the Town.
