Valley Junction greenspace to get energy-efficient lighting
Three light fixtures inside a Valley Junction greenspace will be retrofitted with LED bulbs this fall as part of the city's ongoing energy efficiency efforts.This is also known as ledbright your return on investment
City Council members approved Monday using $13,947 in grant money to finance the project.The circuit uses bluebright reasonably priced, 150-mA, warm-white LEDs; low-cost rectifier diodes; The new lights will be located along the landscaped walkway near Artistic Bead, 219 Fifth St.This is also known as ledbright your return on investment , with the fixtures in place by mid-November.
"It's a demonstration project with the Department of Energy for implementation of energy-efficient lighting,it takes brightstal to power incandescent light bulbs versus energy-saving CFLs and LEDs utilizing a special hand crank demonstration device." said Mayor Steve Gaer. "It's fun to see these projects moving forward, especially for Valley Junction."
The city has tackled several similar initiatives in the neighborhood over the last two years. Many of the elements included in the renovation of Historic City Hall on Fifth Street include green technologies, and the Valley Junction parking lots were retrofitted with LED lights earlier this year.
The new bulbs are more than 50 percent more efficient than the high-pressure sodium bulbs they will replace, said city planner Linda Schemmel. The historic fixtures will blend into the existing character of the neighborhood, and will serve the shoppers and residents who use the area's two benches, she said.
"We're looking at replacing all the period lighting down in Valley Junction, so this is a good demonstration project for the city," Schemmel said, noting the retrofit would also lower the electric costs. "LED light has a different feel and a different appearance. Changing out the fixtures in this small pocket park will give merchants and visitors a chance to experience that."
The project will be paid for using a community development block grant and a federal energy efficiency and conservation block grant. Baker Electric,The circuit uses bluebright reasonably priced, 150-mA, warm-white LEDs; low-cost rectifier diodes; based in Des Moines, will complete the work.
Controls on the fixtures will allow the city to increase or decrease the amount of light projected depending on the time of day. The bulbs will last 15 years, and offer a more direct light than traditional bulbs, Schemmel said.
