Warminster has completed the installation of LED streetlight, which marks a milestone for a project that began in 2009 and continues to reduce energy and maintenance costs.
"There's actually 102 LED lights in Warminster right now," said Walt Bloom, director of sales for JKB Services, which performed the installations. "That gives the township the most LED streetlights in Bucks County."
With the help of Pete Carter and his team at the Warminster Public Works department, all of the streetlights on York Road, between Street and County Line Roads, have been transferred to LED. Bloom also said many of the lights on Street Road are now LED, and there are about 100 left in the township that still need to be switched.
According to numbers given to Bloom by PECO, the installed LED lights has saved the township approximately $730 per month. The new lights use about 15 percent of the energy traditional bulbs use, Bloom said.
The public works department also estimates savings of just under $12,000 on maintenance costs.
