Downtown lights are getting a facelift on Gold and Spruce Streets

DEMING - Seventy-four originally gas-powered lights will turn solar, and Deming’s downtown streets will soon shine brighter and greener.
 
The new solar lighting tops on Gold and Spruce Streets in Deming are energy-efficient, enhancing visibility and creating a more sustainable and visually appealing cityscape.
 
Here's how the new lights are expected to operate:
 

• During the daytime, the lights will be off for charging.
• The lights will automatically turn on for the first 5 hours at night to 30- 35% brightness.
• After 5 hours, the lights will automatically adjust to 10% for another 5 hours.
• 2 hours later, until dawn, the lights will increase to 20% brightness for better early morning ambient light.

 
But that's not all! The lights also have a motion-sensing feature. The lights will briefly turn up to 100% brightness throughout the night if motion is detected.
 
Deming officials said that they were thrilled to bring this exciting makeover to the downtown areas they strive to offer a more vibrant and sustainable city.
