East Suffolk Council is due to complete the project on Felixstowe seafront by next Spring.
Columns, lanterns and festoon lighting will be replaced along the length of the seafront.
Lighting will also be installed inside four historic seafront shelters.
In April, a spokeswoman for East Suffolk Council said: "In February, cabinet approved for capital funding to deliver the Felixstowe seafront lighting project which sets out to update and replace columns, lanterns and festoon lighting along the seafront as well as installing lighting within historic seafront shelters."
She added: "The project, which is one of the short-term priority projects highlighted in the Felixstowe Seafront Development Strategy, sets out to replace existing, ageing promenade lighting to create a more welcoming and vibrant seafront year-round, day and night, encouraging a healthier evening economy as well as mitigating climate change through carbon reduction."
East Suffolk Council adopted the Felixstowe Seafront Development Strategy in October.
It aims to support the seafront as a tourist destination and as a place to live and work.
The lighting project is one of the strategy’s short-term priorities.
Cabinet members unanimously supported plans for the work in October.
Other approved improvements include new signs to help visitors find their way around the seafront and changes to the route between the promenade and Manor Terrace.
Longer-term proposals include a trial to part-pedestrianise Sea Road.
This could provide room for outdoor seating, stalls and pop-up events, as well as wider pavements.
The council wants the trial to lead to full or partial permanent pedestrianisation in the future.
A resident parking scheme for the seafront is also among the longer-term ideas.
Suggestions set out in the strategy include a shuttle bus linking the town centre, seafront and historic Landguard Fort.
A trial e-bike or cycle hire scheme was also proposed.
Council funding for the lighting project was approved by cabinet in February.
The work is intended to reduce carbon emissions while improving lighting during the day and night.
