Madison facilities spring for LED lights

From an article by Pat Sims in the Wisconsin State Journal:

The word this holiday season seems to be light-emitting diode (LED). While pricey, the energy-efficient LED lights were on the shopping lists for decorating many of Madison's most well-known public buildings. . . .

Connie Beam, director of development and marketing at Olbrich Botanical Gardens, said buying the LED lights is part of its commitment to sustainable practices. "We anticipate that the lights will last up to 10 years, making this a good investment for us," Beam said.
