Crews began replacing high pressure sodium bulbs with the brighter more efficient LED's this spring.
17,000 LEDs are being installed around the province in places like Riverview, Miramichi and Fredericton, St Stephen and St. George. Moncton and Grand Manan will have them by the end of September.
Sherry Thomson of NB Power says the lights use less energy every year and a part of the utility's strategy to reduce and shift energy demand in the province.
Thomson adds when all the street lights have been replaced with the new LEDs, the province can reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by nearly 324,000 tonnes over 20 years.
