Outdoor LED Lighting

Outdoor LED Lighting

Functional or decorative, standard options that are durable, affordable, and energy efficient.

 

We offer standard outdoor LED lighting options that are affordable, durable, and energy efficient. Lighting options include:

  • Dark sky compliant fixtures designed for minimal glare and reduced light pollution.

  • Long-lasting, LED lights that produce little heat, do not emit UV or infrared, and contain no mercury. LED lights are also durable, resistant to shock, vibration, and able to operate in cold environments.

  • An advanced system that turns the light on at dusk and off at dawn.

  • The choice of a 24 or 30-foot Valmont bronze-colored fiberglass pole using direct burial, eliminating the need for footings.

Program Info: Once you select one of our standard light fixtures, the Cooperative will install and maintain the light which will be billed as a flat monthly device fee. The fee includes the cost to install, operate, and maintain. If you notice the light is malfunctioning or out, please contact us and repairs will typically be made within three to five business days.

Custom Lighting: If you are considering custom lighting or pole applications, they must be purchased from a vendor rather than through the Cooperative. The Cooperative will provide metered connection points to power your lighting but will not install or maintain it.  The energy usage (and potentially the demand) will be billed per our standard rate structure.
