It claimed that these LED lights would cost 40% less to install than new LED lighting. Traditional sodium streetlights that use 250 watts will use 150 watts under the deal, while LED lights will have a 1,000-hour warranty. During a press conference, he stated that the CDA board would consider the subject at its meeting on Thursday.
“We plan to conduct this project in parts; in the first phase, 1,000 traditional lamps will be transformed,” he added, adding that all streetlights would be retrofitted afterwards.
