PPL Electric was given the go-ahead Monday to convert its streetlights to LED bulbs.

The LED lights are considered more energy efficient, which could reap a substantial savings to the borough, said council President Michael Kokinda.It wasn't stated when the new lights will be installed.The borough will have to pay $200 to $300 for two of the units because PPL will only pay for those that are over 10 years old.Borough treasurer Kira Steber said two units are under 2 years old.Kokinda said he doesn't mind the expenditure because "it will save us at least $300 a week."PPL owns the streetlightsin the borough and charges the town a monthly fee per fixture. The borough paid PPL $6,452.30 for electric. Of that amount, $4,557.96 was for street lighting.Other matters• Councilman John O'Gurek said some street signs and stop signs are leaning.
