Rapid City, South Dakota, tests LED and induction technologies in streetlight pilot

The city of Rapid City, South Dakota, has installed 70 energy efficient streetlights in a pilot project. The initiative was funded by a $49,000 award from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) program. As part of the pilot program, public works officials chose to evaluate both LED and induction technologies. Installed fixtures include 35 LED streetlight fixtures from BetaLED, a division of Ruud Lighting, and 35 induction streetlight fixtures from Neptune Lighting.
