On Tuesday, the Anchorage Assembly will consider authorizing a $1.6 million contract to convert 4,000 streetlights from orange sodium bulbs to energy-saving LED bulbs in 2017. The contract, which pays for equipment and is roughly half the total project cost, is with Crescent Electric Supply Co., a Fairbanks-based electrical supplier. Municipal Light and Power officials estimate energy and maintenance savings of about $400,000 a year or more by shifting to LEDs, or light-emitting diodes.
