2,400 new LED light fixtures will replace streetlights in unincorporated areas of Ventura County
VENTURA, Calif. - Californer -- In an effort to make unincorporated streets safer, Ventura County Public Works Agency (VCPWA) and Southern California Edison (SCE) are working together to begin work on May 26 to replace existing high pressure sodium vapor fixtures with energy efficient Light Emitting Diode (LED) lights.
The project, which will take 3-4 weeks to complete, will upgrade 2,400 street light fixtures with new LED lights that have a Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) of 3000K, which exudes a warm white hue that is safer for both people and wildlife.
"SCE is excited to be implementing new LED streetlights in Ventura County that will save energy and cost, and provide improved lighting conditions for residents, drivers, and pedestrians, said Rudy Gonzales, Government Relations Manager at Southern California Edison. "The new lights provide for better vision and safety while still helping to maintain a dark sky environment."

In addition, the LED lights are much longer lasting and will save in energy and cost while also minimizing light pollution. They are Dark Sky Compliant, which means they direct more light to the ground than the sky.
"Innovation is the watchword of our Ventura County Public Works Agency, as coordination and collaborations such as this with SCE, work together," said Jeff Pratt, Director of VCPWA. "In this case, by ensuring our unincorporated areas of Ventura County have LED lights that are safer for both people and wildlife, and to minimize light pollution."
Photo Ops: June 2, 10 a.m. 2 p.m. Installation on site.
Target Start Date: May 26, 2020
