Energy Efficient Lighting Projects at Lehman College, March 2016
A series of projects to transition the campus away from less-efficient lighting began in 2010, with the goal of phasing in energy-efficient lighting (primarily LED) in all indoor and outdoor applications. By 2016, there are more LED lights on campus than fluorescent. New light fixtures with energy-efficient lamps have been installed in many locations throughout the Lehman College campus (as well as rewiring existing fixtures for use with LED lamps).
