(KLZA)-- During their February 23 meeting, the Falls City Council approved replacing the current light bulbs at the Grandview Park ballfield to LED bulbs.
Council member Derek Leyden said members the Parks Department and the Utility Department suggested making the change. The current quartz bulbs require changing every year to 18 months. There are 32, 1500 watt bulbs that use 48 thousand watts of electricity.
The new LED lights will require only 15, 400 watt bulbs that will require 87 percent less electricity to light up the area.
The Council voted to award a bid for the new LED lights to Husker Electric Supply Company from Lincoln at a cost of $16,800.
It was not the low bid for the units, but is a company the city has done a substantial amount of business with.
