LED lighting

Excel Energy will be replacing all of Eau Claire's streetlights (not city or dot maintained lighting on metal poles) http://www.weau.com/home/headlines/New-streetlight-361741171.html

Maryland SHA seems to mostly being converted to LED when the existing bulbs need replaced. It's not uncommon in Western Maryland to see 1 or 2 LED fixtures at an interchange when the rest are sodium vapor. They're also using LED on new installs like when they repaired the Cumberland Viaduct on I-68.

WVDOH is using LEDs on new fixtures, both high mast and regular. I've seen a lot of existing figures being converted too. WV seems to go in and do an entire area rather than just one-offs like Maryland.

I think it's interesting to see LED high-mast lights, as those sodium-vapor types are getting more and more monotonous. Can someone post the LED ones being turned on? This I'd love to see!

The whole Spaghetti Junction interchange in Louisville is getting LED lighting I think. I also remember the Jane Addams tollway in Chicago having LED lights as I drove through it 6 months ago (I used to live near there).

Exit 65 on I-8 in CA had the lighting replaced with LED awhile ago.  I am very happy with them because they are brighter and project directly down with little light pollution.  I live 3/4 mile due west of the exit and dark skies are very valued around here.

All the Xcel maintained street lights in the Twin Cities will be converted to LED too; the Mn/DOT freeways are well into the conversion.

I wish The Wisconsin dot would replace their lighting with LED, since they like to over light things. New installations get LED. A roundabout near me has 4-6 poles and one keeps getting knocked down over and over since they are less than a foot from the curb. Granted they may be city maintained.

Michigan appears to be switching over to LED lights for new installations.  LED lighting was installed with last year's rebuild of I-96 in Livonia and Redford Township.  I've seen it sporadically in a few other spots.

A couple months ago, MDOT entered into a public-private partnership with two New-York based companies to replace all freeway lighting (about 15,000 lights) in the tri-county metro Detroit area.  The new lights will be LED.  It's a 15-year contract, during which time the vendor will be responsible for maintaining the lights (as I understand it).  I'm all for it if it keeps the lights on.  With bad bulbs, equipment failures, copper wiring theft, and whatever else, lots of metro Detroit freeway sections have been in the dark for years.

I saw LED lighting on I-95 in Florida for the first time in Melbourne, apparently been there since at least June:
