Switch to LED street lighting to reduce energy consumption
danrok:
The article says it all:
--- Quote ---A new residential district uses close to 1,000 light-emitting diodes (LED) instead of conventional outdoor lighting, slashing power consumption to about a quarter. Indirect illumination is used for a broader lit area, heightening perceived brightness.

Good isn't it.
If you read around a bit it looks likely this will become pretty standard over the course of the next few years. One hopes Jersey is an early adopter of such technology when the opportunity arises - can't argue with it environmentally or economically.
Ashley:
Great idea, naturally.
Replace as and when they break though - cannot see any money being saved by having a blanket exchange.
It's a shame but you have to move with the times. There's something friendly and reassuring about old school street lights - LEDs are cold, clinical things, generally.
Chevalier Blanc:
I think that is very nice indeed, it gives a friendly sort of light i find.

Like most people, I didn't like the orange sodium lights when they were first in use. But, like most things you get sentimental about them over time.
