The City of Lomita is taking another step towards sustainability and efficiency by partnering with Southern California Edison (SCE) through its LS-1 Option E street light replacement program. This initiative aims to replace outdated streetlights throughout Lomita with energy-efficient LED fixtures, helping the city reduce its carbon footprint and lower energy costs—all with no upfront costs to the city.
What is LS-1 Option E?
SCE’s LS-1 Option E program offers local governments, including Lomita, the opportunity to upgrade utility-owned streetlights to advanced LED fixtures. The best part? There is no up-front cost to participate in the program, and SCE manages the entire process, from planning to installation. Lomita residents will notice minimal disruption once replacements are underway. Most people won’t even realize their street lights have been upgraded until they experience the improved lighting on their block.
Benefits for Lomita
The transition to energy-efficient LED lighting is a step forward in the City’s commitment to a sustainable future. The switch to LEDs reduces energy consumption, resulting in both immediate and long-term savings on the City’s energy bills.
The LEDs are expected to last 12 to 20 years, offering long-term benefits to the community. SCE will continue to handle maintenance and replacements as part of its streetlight maintenance program, ensuring that Lomita’s lighting infrastructure remains efficient and effective.
