New Lights On Campus
New light fixtures are being installed around campus.
Outdoor lighting is becoming energy efficient every day, making the campus more and more environmentally friendly. Plus, it's saving money.
Examples of new fixtures can be seen by the front doors of the Rita Bole Complex. They didn't cost a penny, according to Director of Maintenance Tom Archer. "They're paid for by Efficiency Vermont," he said.
All of the new fixtures, including the LED pole lights installed over the course of last summer, will make a very noticeable impact on the college's electricity bill. Significant progress has already been made. "Right now we have 250 LED lights on the exterior of Lyndon State College, and we're down to just six more entrances to do," Archer said.
The "greening up" of Lyndon State's exterior lighting is nearly complete. "The only things we have left are the Rita Bole parking lot lights, which are only eight years old...They're also going to go to LED if the technology doesn't get any better," Archer said.
Stonehenge residents can look forward to better, greener lighting "by the end of next week," Archer said.
