Traffic Lights Get Make-Over
Wess Palmer, a PennDOT worker, disconnects the power at the switching station next to Good Tire on South Water Street so the new LED light bulbs can be installed.
If you have driven in downtown Kittanning any time this past week, you may have noticed crews at different intersections changing light bulbs in the stoplights. The old 135-watt incandescent light bulbs are being replaced with 6-watt L.E.D. lights.
“These new bulbs will last much longer and hopefully save on some of the maintenance,” said Perry Stultz, a Bronder Technical Services employee from Gibsonia. “We will be replacing bulbs in Punxsutawney, Indiana, Butler, Clarion, Seven Fields, and Cranberry after this. We have about 2,500 bulbs to replace.
Two members from Bronder Technical Services and a PennDOT member, worked together to complete the light bulb switch-out.
