Tucson, Arizona, installs LED streetlights from BetaLED and Cooper Lighting


The city of Tucson, Arizona recently completed a federally funded LED streetlight project which involved the installation of 850 new LED streetlight fixtures.

Tucson used a $425,000 Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) from the U.S. Department of Energy to fund the project. The funds were used to purchase and install the energy efficient LED fixtures in Tucson neighborhoods with aging low pressure sodium (LPS) fixtures. The total project included 562 LED fixtures manufactured by Cooper Lighting of Peachtree City, Georgia, and 284 LED fixtures manufactured by BetaLED, a division of Ruud Lighting of Racine, Wisconsin.
