An objective of SEPTA was to have well maintained stations. Effectively to reduce the rate of maintenance in the stations, and reduce the number of lights that burn out. This is achieved with the long life of the LED lighting system that is designed to outlast the previous fluorescent system.

The newly retrofitted stations are bright and feel safer to the riders and the staff.

The other clear advantage to retrofitting to the LED lighting is the reduced power consumption. This system saves approximately 31% over the traditional fluorescent system. Additionally, the lamps need to be replaced less frequently, which also contributes to the additional maintenance savings.
