Duke Energy upgrades more than 700 Franklin streetlights
Duke Energy has converted more than 700 street lights in Franklin to LED (light emitting diodes). New energy-efficient lighting replaces decades-old lighting fixtures, resulting in significant energy and cost savings for cities.
“Installing smart street lighting is good for the environment, good for the city’s bottom line, good for street safety, and ultimately good for the overall quality of life for the people who call Franklin home. ” said Mayor Steve Barnett. Mr. Franklin said in a statement. “We appreciate Duke Energy’s partnership in this important effort.”
The project is expected to reduce Franklin’s street lighting energy expenditures by nearly 27 percent, resulting in approximately $20,000 in annual cost savings.
The new LED street lights emit significantly clearer and brighter light than existing high-pressure sodium (HPS) street lights, which have a dull, amber-orange color. LED lights have a much longer lifespan, are safer for traffic, and have lower maintenance costs than HPS lights.
