MyMVU 6 • LED stands for “Light Emitting Diode”. Each
Public Power Week Back Cover diode in an LED street light lamp can be
controlled to light a specific area, meaning
less light is lost (less light pollution) and less
energy is used. This also means that LED
lights will last approximately ten times longer
than the current high pressure sodium vapor
lamps (HPS) used throughout the City.
• A longer life means lower maintenance and/
or replacement costs.
• Because LED lights emit a whiter light than
HPS lamps; objects may appear clearer and
more defined.
• LED lamps have a rapid startup speed, unlike
current HPS lamps.
The conversion to LED technology may reduce
energy consumption by up to 68%, equivalent
to powering approximately 395 homes per year.
