Binghamton, a city of New York State is to upgrade its aging streetlights with LED lights. According to Mayor Rich David, the city will switch approximately 7,000 streetlights to LED ones.
Several test LED lights were installed in the city earlier in mid- 2015.
The project will cost US $4 million but the energy and maintenance savings will offset the expense in the long run. The project is expected to be completed in early 2016.
