Cities will benefit from the switch to LED streetlights from HPS lights. More and more people see the benefit of LED technology. From indoor gardeners who use LED lights to grow their crops to business owners who utilize LED signs , LED technology has proved its worth. Now even local city officials have embraced the new technology. In the past several years, cities and towns in the country have retrofitted their streetlights with LEDs. Wondering why they made the switch? We listed below the top three reasons why LEDs are the better option than HPS (sodium vapor) or any other lighting system. Less energy, less cost Because light emitting diodes use less power and are energy-efficient, they cost less than HPS or metal halide in the long run. For a brightness or lumens of 250+, LEDs only draw 4 watts, while HPS and other lighting draw 25 watts. So imagine the number of watts drawn in streets for hours. If retrofitted with LEDs, you’ll get to use less power, and hence the cit
