This project overview proposes replacing public utility lights with LED lights to reduce electricity usage and costs while being more environmentally friendly. The goals are to reduce fossil fuel consumption in the United States by fixing the problem at its source rather than finding alternative energy sources. LED lights use less energy, require less maintenance than traditional lights, and produce less light pollution. The design process would start with replacing existing signs with LED-lit signs.

3. Project Goals To reduce the usage of fossil fuel consumption in America.

4. Problem definition In today’s modern world spotlights and utility lights are found every were. Everyone is always talking about global warming and saving energy by reducing the usage of fossil fuels. But people mostly focus on transportation as the number one fossil fuel consumer. But I say why not try to replace the problem of fossil fuel usage by replacing them with other products. Why not just fix the problem in the first place. Instead of trying to find other energy sources, just find a way to use less of what we already have.

5. History of the problem Oil lamps to lights.

6. Related projects Experimental gases in flourescent lights Alternative energy sources
