Gwangju Dong-gu Replaces Old Streetlights and Security Lights with LED Lighting

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Im Taek) announced on the 20th that it will replace old streetlights and residential security lights with LED lighting to improve safe and bright road lighting facilities.

This project will invest 300 million KRW to carry out an LED lighting replacement project for about 260 street and security lights by June.

The streetlight project will be conducted at three locations including Guseong-ro, Gyeongyang-ro, and Jiho-ro, while the security lights will be replaced mainly in one-room apartment dense areas such as the back gate of Chosun University and the Seonam-dong area.

This LED lighting replacement is expected not only to prevent safety accidents but also to allow residents such as children and women to walk safely at night, as well as to significantly reduce road lighting maintenance costs and electricity bills.

Im Taek, Mayor of Dong-gu, said, “With this street and security light LED replacement project, we will be able to provide residents with a bright and safe walking environment,” adding, “We will continue to expand the LED replacement project for old lighting throughout Dong-gu to improve the nighttime lighting environment in Dong-gu.”
