Kittery, Maine - In the coming weeks, the Town of Kittery will begin the installation of new Light Emitting Diode (LED) street lights. Affinity LED Light was awarded the project and will be converting approximately 640 street light fixtures to LED.
LED lights have a wide range of benefits, including:
- Energy Efficiency: LED lights can reduce electricity consumption for street lighting by 75%.
- Better Lighting: LED lighting allows people to see colors more clearly, which makes it easier to recognize people and objects on the streets and sidewalks.
- Reducing Glare: It is easy to aim LEDs to shine light where it should be and to avoid shining it where it is unwanted.
- Longer Lifespan: LED lighting has an extremely long life which reduces overall maintenance costs.
With the installation of the LED streetlights, the Town of Kittery will also benefit from a reduction in costs and CO2 emissions:
- Annual cost savings of $92,771
- Annual energy savings of 196,318 (kwh)
The Town of Kittery is excited to be implementing this eco-focused initiative.
If you have any questions about the project, please contact Town Manager, Kendra Amaral at 207-475-1329 or kamaral@kitteryme.org.
