New Lights on the West Side

Saint John Energy is working feverishly on Fairville Boulevard this week. Crews are installing new LED street lights as part of a green energy pilot project. These new lights are replacing the current 250 watt high pressure sodium lighting. The new LED lamps use only 112 watts of energy and provide a whiter light with better colour.

The benefit of the new lights is they provide the same output for half the energy. Officials with Saint John Energy and the City are looking into other area's to install the new lights.
