#NewtownPA Township LED Streetlight Conversion Plan

Mack's Newtown Voice

At the 14 February 2024 #NewtownPA Board of Supervisors public meeting, Mike Fuller, President/Founder of Keystone Lighting Solutions, presented the Final Project Overview for replacing all street lights in town with LED lights. This is an audio recording of the presentation and Q&A session that followed. You can find the presentation here: https://rebrand.ly/RSLPPpreso and detailed project specifications here: https://rebrand.ly/RSLLP_Specs Afterward, the supervisors approved a resolution to move forward with the "Base Upgrade" (manual controls) using a "Hybrid Approach"; i.e., 4000 K pure white lights for major roads and warmer, 3000 K lights for local roads and residential roads. A total of 1,613 lights will be replaced at an estimated net project cost (including contingency fees and PECO rebates) of $720,373. The annual operating cost savings will be $43,679 and the payback period is estimated to be 16.5 years.
