In august 2008 the anchorage assembly voted 8-0 in favor of the LED streetlight ordinance. Phase one would replaced 16000 high pressure sodium rode way lights with high-efficiency LED lights. 22% of the energy we used in the u.s is from lighting and during dark winter we use even a greater amount. LED light fixtures uses 50% less energy than the regular lights and even last longer. wow just imagine 50% less energy just from them changing every street light in anchorage wow. we might really start saving a lot of energy.. this picture show on the left regular lighting we have know. and on the right side it is the lighting we will have when we installed this LED streetlight
