Duke Power Company provides several styles of decorative lighting fixtures. A one-time fee may be required from the applicants prior to the installation of such lighting .
Decorative lighting is available to neighborhoods designated by Duke Power Company as having underground electrical service. Neighborhoods with overhead electrical service may request the decorative lighting option with an additional one-time installation charge covering the cost of placing service to the lights underground. A letter from the neighborhood association, or a neighborhood petition may be required prior to such installation to indicate neighborhood commitment to a consistent style of lighting through a neighborhood.
Caution should be used in selecting decorative lighting. Since they are mounted at 12' instead of the 25' for standard light, lighting patterns may not provide full coverage of a street with dark spots present. Further, unlike standard fixtures which focus light on the roadway, the most common decorative fixtures shine omni-directional, which some may find objectionable.
Decorative lights are not available on thoroughfares or collector streets.
