At the city’s request, Georgia Power has begun replacing Statesboro’s high-pressure sodium streetlights with LED, or light-emitting diode, fixtures. Until a few years ago, LEDs were tiny devices. But now they are available in high-power types that produce a broader-spectrum light than the high-pressure sodium lamps, and direct as much light toward the street while consuming less energy.
