All the Smart Cities are Doing It
Ann Arbor is replacing every street light in the city with LEDs, and reducing their energy usage 55% in the process. The project will cost $650,000 and achieve a return on investment in 4.2 years. The city already implemented LEDs on Washington St between 4th & 5th street and its citizens to submitted feedback via the web. With 98% approval, the city is moving forward.
LEDs: easier on the eyes than fluorescent bulbs and significantly more energy efficient as well. A fellow Googler recently replaced the lighting in her house with LEDs, and her entire upstairs runs on a total of 11 watts. She could leave a light on 24/7 for a year at a cost of about $4. I’m thinking of making the switch…
If you’re living in a city that hasn’t yet made the switch, I tagged this post as ‘business’ and ‘opportunities’ on your behalf. It’s a no-brainer once you’re informed. Good luck!
