Mark Boyer Chicago to Replace Old Yellow Streetlights With Energy-Efficient Lamps Read more: Chicago To Replace Old Yellow Streetlights With Energy E
Though money one of the main reasons they are changing the blubs out for ceramic metal-halide lights, this is still a great move for a city of this size. Not only are the bulbs efficient, they are also going to be saving the city around 1.8 million dollars. I also thought this story was interesting because we have similar lights here in San Jose which are awkward in that they blend in with the traffic lights. I would like to see the city address these street lights in some way similar to Chicago.
