Upcoming Webinars
April 14: Live Webinar on Maintenance Practices for LED Streetlights
Webinar sponsor: DOE’s Municipal Solid-State Street Lighting Consortium
The Energy Department will present a live webinar titled “Maintenance Practices for LED Streetlights” on Monday, April 14, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. Unfamiliarity with LED streetlight technology naturally prompts important questions about maintenance and reliability, and how to take these issues into account when planning and preparing for a transition to this technology. During the webinar, presenters Glenn Cooper of the City of Boston, Stephen Crume of the City of Seattle, and Patrick Batte of the City of Las Vegas will discuss their cities’ respective LED street lighting programs and lessons learned along the way, including failure rates and failure modes experienced to date and the associated best practices their programs have developed in response.
