This project consists of a new design to completely replace all streetlight material for approximately 46 lights on Circuit 079 including: poles, luminaires, cable, conduit, pull boxes, and other associated material as required.

The upgrade to LED lighting is more energy efficient and will result in an energy consumption savings for the City of Columbus.
