Palo Alto Tries LED Streetlights to Cut Energy Use

Streetlamps are the focus of Palo Alto's latest bid to lighten its load on the environment.

The city announced Wednesday it will replace some traditional lights with low-maintenance induction lamps and light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, as part of a pilot project expected to last at least one year.

Nine LEDs and five induction lights will be installed near City Hall and on the residential Colorado and Amarillo avenues. Both are designed to last longer and use 40 percent less energy that traditional sodium vapor lamps, according to the city.

If the program works, it will be rolled out citywide over the next five years, the city said in a statement. The new lamps could cut the city's greenhouse gas emissions.
