What is LED Lighting?
Light Emitting Diode (LED) is an efficient form of lighting that produces more light per watt than traditional lighting elements. LED lighting systems reduce energy costs and light pollution, have lower lumen levels, and enable more directed light patterns.
Where is the LED lighting in Greenbury?
All the streetlights along the roadways in Greenbury are LED lights. Some of the outdoor show home lighting will also be LED lighting.
Why is this Green?
- Energy Savings: LED lights produce more light per watt, which achieves a higher brightness for given output
- Long Life: LED lights have a longer life, less burnout, which in turn means they need to be replaced less often; this means less waste, and more reliability
- Reduction of Light Levels: LED lighting can be easily dimmed or brightened given the need. This allows the City of Spruce Grove the future capacity to reduce power usage by dimming lights in the early hours of the morning where bright lights may not be as necessary
