Light emitting diode (LED) technology has been widely used for street lighting. However, this implementation needs a large amount of initial investment which makes it costly. The replacement of sodium lamps with LED technology requires a comprehensive budget analysis. This research aims to calculate the probability of cost and energy reduction in the process of street lighting replacement by using LED technology. The sample in this research is Jalan Soekarno Hatta (Soekarto Hatta street) as long as 1,470 meters with a total of 54 poles. Based on our analysis, although the initial investment is relatively higher (twice as much of that of the conventional lighting) the use of LED technology is highly recommended as it is more economical in a long term. The cost of lamp replacement decreases by 51% during its time of use. This result shows that the use of LED technology in street lighting is more efficient and has a relatively lower operating expense. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University
