Washington State School Replaces All Lights With LEDs

KING5-TV Seattle, WA (1/6, Chittim) reports that James Monroe Elementary in Everett, Washington, "is believed to be the first public school to go almost entirely LED," noting that such fixtures "have been around for years...but were not considered suitable for reading or lighting large areas. However, technological advances have erased most of those concerns and now schools are seeing LEDs in a whole new light. ... The bulbs cost more at the front end, but administrators say they will make up for it in energy and replacement costs."
