LED Street Lights Cut Energy Consumption and Eliminate Bulb Changes

Founded over 200 years ago along the Mississippi River in Missouri, the city of Cape Girardeau is now home to almost 38,000 residents. The Missouri Highway 74 corridor through the city's downtown is one of the busiest thoroughfares in the city, leading up to the Emerson Memorial Bridge across the Mississippi and connecting Cape Girardeau with Illinois. Along this stretch of road, as well as North Kings highway, 250-W high-pressure sodium (HPS) street lights kept maintenance crews busy with frequent bulb changes.
