The City of Fort worth typically maintains High Pressure Sodium (HPS) cobrahead fixtures and Mercury-Vapor (MV) lamps. The City is working on replacing old HPS & MV lamps with light-emitting diode (LED) streetlights that have the same perceived level of brightness as the old lights but results in a reduction in energy use. Residential, arterial and connector streets have wattages ranging from 40Watts to 150Watts.
