The City of Alexandria's traffic operations team is working with Dominion Energy to change 2,500 streetlamps to LED lights.
More than 150 lights have been changed, and the remainder should be done by the summer of 2020.
According to the City of Alexandria, LED lights:
- Last five times longer than incandescent lights
- Reduce energy consumption by 90%
- Burn brighter
- Save the City money
- Align with the City's Eco-City Alexandria and Vision Zero goals.
In addition, LED lights do not contain toxic chemicals like mercury and will reduce maintenance costs.
Transportation & Environmental Services has not released a map of where the lights will be replaced.
