Previous Commission Action: N/A
Background/Problem Discussion: The Town currently has a number of Duke Energy street lights throughout town. These existing lights are predominantly high pressure sodium lights (HPS), which give off a yellow hue light. Town staff is looking to change these lights and upgrade them to a more efficient LED fixture. The new LED fixtures will give off a more clean white, 4K, light that will match our own Town decorative lights. Additionally, Duke will not repair or replace the HPS lights. Instead they will replace the light with an LED fixture. Staff is going to remove several existing Duke Lights where there is a duplication with Town decorative lighting.
