Guro-gu Replaces 450 Old Lights with LED Security Lights to Create Bright Alleyways

Guro-gu Invests 200 Million KRW Annually to Replace Old Lights with LED Security Lights Across the District... Sequential Implementation Until 2026

450 Replacements Completed This Year... 357 in Guro 2-dong, 93 in Oryu 1-dong

Guro-gu (Mayor Moon Heon-il) announced on the 21st that it has replaced a total of 450 old discharge lamps in alleyways with LED security lights as part of the ‘Residential Alley Lighting Environment Improvement Project.’

The existing discharge lamps use gas discharge inside the bulb, causing light to scatter in all directions, resulting in light pollution and frequent partial outages, which caused inconvenience to residents.

To address this, Mayor Moon initiated the ‘Residential Alley Lighting Environment Improvement Project.’

The district decided to invest 200 million KRW annually from this year until 2026 to replace all old discharge lamps throughout Guro-gu with LED security lights. In addition, to prevent electrical accidents, the district is also carrying out maintenance work on old piping and wiring.

Guro-gu selected Guro 2-dong and Oryu 1-dong, which have the highest number of lights to be replaced, as this year’s replacement areas. Construction began in earnest in April, and by May 19, 357 LED security lights were replaced in Guro 2-dong, followed by 93 replacements in Oryu 1-dong completed on June 2.

A Guro-gu official stated, “We will continue to carry out LED security light replacement projects every year,” adding, “We will strive to create safe alleyways so that residents can walk at night with peace of mind.”
