Norwalk, a city located in Connecticut, United States, has taken into account converting its streetlights into LED ones, reported The Hour.

The city currently pays US $400,000 per year for lighting. The LED streetlight transition will cut half the energy bill and pay itself back within three and a half years, according to Director of Public Work Bruce J. Chimento.

Eversource Energy, Frontier and other companies own the city’s 7,000 lights. Chimento has met with GE Lighting and plans to talk to Eversource Energy.

However, Eversource Connecticut spokesman Mitch Gross pointed out that the company not long ago offered the chance to install 300 to 400 LED streetlights for pilot run and was turned down by the city.

Approximately 20 Connecticut towns are undergoing Eversource’s LED streetlight pilot project. But Norwalk city told the company they would like to review the opportunity in 2016, according to Gross.
