Common Council will have to decide whether to spend 42 thousand dollars to replace the fluorescent lighting on the Saint John sign which looks out from Fort Howe with L-E-D lighting.
Councillors have been told L-E-D lighting will last up to 90 thousand hours as opposed to 15 thousand hours with fluorescent lights.
It’s also estimated the annual cost to the city would go down from 9 thousand dollars to a thousand.
