City of Boulder Partners with CLI Services for Major LED Streetlight Upgrade

BOULDER, Colo., April 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The City of Boulder is making a major investment in safety, energy efficiency, and smart infrastructure by replacing 4,400 outdated streetlights with state-of-the-art LED lighting—a project led in partnership with CLI Services.

This $9.2 million initiative, primarily funded by the Community, Culture, Resilience, and Safety Tax, marks a significant step toward enhancing visibility for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers while dramatically reducing energy costs. The city estimates that after seven years, the switch to LED lighting will save up to $1 million annually in energy and maintenance expenses.

“We’re proud to collaborate with the City of Boulder on this transformative project,” said Chris Frank, General Manager at CLI Services. “By upgrading to LED lighting, we’re not only improving safety and visibility but also contributing to a more sustainable and cost-effective future for the community.”

As part of the upgrade, smart lighting controllers will be installed, allowing the city to automatically detect outages—eliminating the previous system that relied on resident reports. The new LED fixtures are also designed to direct light more efficiently onto roads and sidewalks, minimizing unnecessary light dispersion and improving overall illumination.

The project is expected to take 15 to 18 months to complete, with funding contributions from the Transportation and Mobility department and other city divisions.

CLI Services specializes in LED conversions for municipalities, commercial properties, and large-scale infrastructure projects, helping cities transition to smarter, more efficient lighting solutions.
