BC Hydro LED Street Lights
In the District of West Vancouver, BC Hydro owns and maintains over 1,000 streetlights attached to their poles, typically wooden poles. To comply with federal regulations, BC Hydro replaced light bulbs in all of their street lights with energy-efficient LEDs, province-wide. This replacement project was completed by the end of 2023.
Street lights have switched to LEDs for much the same reason that people choose LEDs for their homes: they use far less energy, are more reliable, last longer, and are more sustainable. LED street lights also help improve public safety by increasing the visibility of sidewalks and roads at night.
