LED Lights Conversion
The City of Rehoboth Beach will replace the arms, fixtures, and bulbs (but not the poles themselves) on the lights in the median of Rehoboth Avenue with LED lights, which provide less expensive illumination. This project has been delayed due to issues with the parts, and now is expected to be undertaken following the 2024 summer season. When it gets underway, work will take approximately three weeks to complete. The new LED lights will be adjustable and night sky-like. B.W. Electric of Harrington is the contractor on this project at a cost of $83,450.
This is the first phase of a three-phase project to install LED lights. Sidewalk lights along Rehoboth Avenue will be replaced in 2024, and lights along the boardwalk are scheduled to be replaced in 2025.
