Report
Public Works staff has installed four different LED lighting options in the vicinity of the Public Works Center. The intent of this effort is to display various LED lighting that could be considered in moving forward with a residential lighting retrofit project.
The following is a summary of the locations of the LED lighting, noting the Kelvin rating and a comment of the type of color:
- Location 1: On the 100 block of S. Taylor, installed 30 Watt "corn cob" lamps, with 3500Kelvin. The color is similar to household incandescent lighting.

- Location 3: On the 300 block of S. Taylor, installed 30 Watt "corn cob" lamps, with 3000Kelvin. The color is similar to a dim incandescent light.
- Location 4: On the 100 block of S. Humphrey, installed 30 Watt "corn cob" lamps, with 4000Kelvin. The color is similar to a common "bright white" household incandescent bulb.
