Learning about Safer Streets Through Lighting

Chris Halverson attended the EUCI Advancing Outdoor and Street Lighting with Utilities conference in July, where Atlanta’s upgrade to 22,000-lumen fixtures was highlighted for reducing crime by 23%. Dr. Ronald Gibbons, former IES president, spoke on how strategic lighting—including dimming systems—can improve safety while protecting ecosystems.

Chris connected with utility leaders, planners, and tech experts to share ideas on energy efficiency, funding, and infrastructure resilience.
