Arlington County, Virginia, to install 1,800 LED streetlights in 2010

The county of Arlington, Virginia, has started a large-scale LED streetlight replacement program funded by the US Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) program and local capital funds. The County will spend $1.5 million in 2010 to replace 1,800 existing streetlights with LED fixtures.

According to county officials, the long term goal is to replace all county owned streetlights with LED fixtures within the next six years. Currently the county owns 4,200 streetlights, most of which use high pressure sodium (HPS) technology.
