Winfield, Kansas, plans for city-wide LED streetlight project by testing fixtures from Cooper Lighting

As an initial step toward the long-term goal of replacing all of the city’s high pressure sodium (HPS) streetlights with energy efficient LED fixtures, the city of Winfield, Kansas, recently installed twelve new LED streetlights.

Winfield is testing energy efficient LED fixtures manufactured by Cooper Lighting of Peachtree City, Georgia. The recent installation on the downtown block of Main Street is part of the city’s ongoing initiative to reduce energy consumption and increase energy cost savings. City crews replaced existing 400 watt HPS streetlights with 127 watt equivalent LED cobrahead fixtures.

Ouray, Colorado, converts all city streetlights to BetaLED fixtures

The city of Ouray, Colorado, has already seen financial benefits of converting city streetlights to LED technology. Ouray’s effort to adopt new technology was driven by the simple need to replace aging streetlights as well as the desire to replace outdated mercury vapor lighting technology. The city, in partnership with local utilities San Miguel Power and Tri-State Power, financed the conversion of 100 streetlights in commercial and residential areas. City officials chose LED streetlight fixtures manufactured by BetaLED, a division of Ruud Lighting, of Racine, Wisconsin.
