LED Streetlights Being Tested At Several Falls Church City Locations
As the city and Dominion Energy replace streetlights with LED lights, different light fixtures are being tested at several locations.
FALLS CHURCH, VA — As some localities covert streetlights to LED lights, new fixtures are being tested at locations around the City of Falls Church.
The city is considering LED lights for all Dominion Energy-owned streetlight fixtures. According to the city, LED lights use up to 75 percent less energy and last longer.
If you're out at night and see the LED streetlight test locations, the city wants to hear from you. Residents are asked to visit up to 21 pole locations and provide feedback on whether they are too bright, too dim or just right.
