Pittsburgh Could Get LED Streetlights

City officials preliminarily approved a $2.2 million study with The Efficiency Network (under Duquesne Light) to determine what it will take to convert Pittsburgh to LED streetlights, which are more energy efficient than the current high-pressure sodium lights.
