Nutter Fort Treasurer Proposes LED Streetlight Pilot to Save About $400 a Month
Summary
Treasurer Leslie Cummings proposed a pilot converting Buckhannon Pike and Pennsylvania Avenue lights to lower-wattage LEDs; the town has 126 100-watt and 8 200-watt fixtures and the reported savings for those conversions totals about $400 per month.
Treasurer Leslie Cummings told the council that supervisors discussed LED streetlighting as a cost-saving measure and that she has begun a pilot conversion on a light at Buckhannon Pike and Pennsylvania Avenue to evaluate illumination from lower-wattage LEDs.
Cummings provided cost estimates: replacing a 200-watt fixture with a 130-watt LED would save about $4.43 per light per month, and replacing a 100-watt fixture with a 50-watt LED would save about $2.93 per light per month. The town inventory cited in the report lists 126 of the 100-watt fixtures and 8 of the 200-watt fixtures, giving an estimated monthly savings around $400 if those fixtures were converted. A supervisors meeting will be scheduled next month to discuss additional cost‑saving ideas and whether to expand the pilot.
