Is Las Vegas the very first vacation spot that comes to mind when you think about heading to a vibrant city? If so, make plans to travel there in a couple of weeks. Vegas streets will go green in the next few days, when the city gets a whole new range of LED streetlights. These are less expensive, brighter and whiter in comparison with those it presently uses. With over 6,000 new streetlights, the city will certainly shine bright during the night. Over the next few days, crews will begin working on replacing the old orange and yellow lights with the latest ones. This will be the 1st stage of the installation, and can save up to $400,000.
Going green by lessening use of electricity
The assistant traffic manager of Las Vegas declared that this is the amount the city will save when it replaces 6,600 bulbs. It will get multiplied when the remaining 50,000 streetlights are replaced. As outlined by a 8newsnow.com report, the approximated cost with the new bulbs, for each year, is substantially less when compared to the $4 million the city has been spending in the same period, on streetlights. The annual electrical energy consumption in the city will drop by 8 million kilowatt hours with this improvement.
Project funding
Areas near Durango Drive and Charleston Boulevard, in Ward 2, are set to go through the first change wave. The next few stages of putting in bulbs begins after the city receives funding for it. The process is being financed primarily by federal energy conservation bonds worth $2.9 million. $40,000 is being covered by the federal stimulus grant from the state of Nevada. Residents are excited about the fact that their streets will get new lights. Joggers, that run in the early hours of morning when it's dark, are thrilled about the new developments. While the typical streetlights last for almost 6 years, the new LED lights come with a life span of fifteen years.
