Decorative Lighting

If you currently participate in the LCEC Decorative Lighting Program, or are considering installation of decorative lighting, we want to advise you of recent changes. The high-pressure sodium (HPS) and metal halide (MH) fixtures LCEC utilizes for the program are no longer available from the manufacturer. Decorative lights will be changed-out according to the following criteria and priorities:

Repair and Maintenance of Defective Decorative Fixture

LCEC will be converting all decorative lighting to Light Emitting Diodes (LED) fixtures as they need replacement or repair.

Repair and Maintenance of Lightbulb

In the event that only the lightbulb needs to be replaced, LCEC will use our stock of high-pressure sodium or metal halide bulbs until our supply is depleted.

Functioning Existing Lights

Decorative lights that are still functioning will not be changed-out.

New Decorative Light Requests

All new installations will include LED fixtures.

Potential Benefits of LED Lighting<

The increased visibility facilitates safer navigation and promotes a sense of security to people who work and live in the area.
Improved nighttime visibility and safety through better color rendering, more uniform lighting distribution.
Reduced direct and reflected up light, which are the primary causes of urban sky glow.
Helps reduce the carbon footprint and uses less energy.

Color Differences

Please be aware that the color of the LED lighting may be different from the current lighting at your location. We have found that most customers prefer the blue-white lighting the LED lights provide.

Decorative Lighting Rates

Please note the energy cost for the LED light is lower although the fixture itself is more expensive. LED lighting repair requires replacement of the entire fixture. Customer pricing for this convenient lighting option remains affordable
