Streetlight Acquisition
The City of Pico Rivera acquired 2913 lights from Southern California Edison (SCE) and upgraded 3417 of 5320 audited fixtures from High Pressure Sodium (HPS) and Metal Hallide, to brighter more efficient Light Emitting Diodes (LED).
For this project, the City partnered with Tanko Lighting, a firm focused on providing technical solutions for municipal streetlighting to save taxpayer dollars through energy-efficient upgrades.
The City will save approximately $11.7M over the 20-year life of the project through rebates, energy savings, and reduced maintenance cost.
