The city and borough of Wrangell, Alaska, recently completed a test installation of LED streetlights in anticipation of a city-wide streetlight replacement project. City crews installed LED streetlight fixtures manufactured by BetaLED, GE, Leotek and Lighting Science Group and evaluated fixture function, performance and appearance. As a result of the pilot program, the electrical department chose the GE Evolve LED streetlight fixture as having the best design and performance that best matched to the municipality’s needs. The proposed 312 streetlight installation is funded by combined grants of $146,000 from the US Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) program.
