Would like to know what color temp they are going to go with.  4000K or that god awful 5000K daylight hogwash.

The more you hate the LED movement, the stronger it becomes.

I actually lived in Charlestown for a couple years. I like how they said that HID fixtures aren't being made anymore, but that doesn't mean that you can't maintain them! How about only installing LEDs when the HID fixtures are damaged??

HID Fixtures should stay HID, but I think LED is fine too.

There's only one problem with that...  It's a sensible idea.  I'd rather have no lights than those things.

There are two kinds of light  -  the glow that illuminates, and the glare that obscures.

Did anyone catch where the guy said that the conversion is being done with NO cost to the city ?

I'd guess it's some form of rebate/incentive from the utility company ?

Exactly !!  100 grand in streetlight replacement saves them from having to spend 20-30 million in system upgrades and replacements !

These lights are probably owned by the utility instead of being owned by the city.  Essentially leased lights, where they pay a flat rate per month determined by the wattage of the light.  Lower wattage LED lights would have a lower per-month fee than the higher wattage HID lights they replace.  Probably not a huge difference per light, but multiplied by the 6800 lights the city has, it's a lot.

Around here , the local utility is offering major incentives for LED conversions !  They also offer rebates to homeowners for doing things to promote increased efficiency. They're currently offering homeowners a $50 rebate towards the purchase of an energy efficient fridge and will even haul off your old one free of charge !
