Eco Street Lamps Lighting the Way in the UK
It has been announced that energy saving street lamps will be installed on every street in Westminster, which should save the city up to 20,000 pounds in energy costs each year.
The Furyo Lamps, which cost 1000 pounds each, reflect light in a much stronger manner, making them more energy efficient and longer lasting.To save energy even further solar microchips are being installed to detect levels of light and switch on an off appropriately.
The lamps successfully passed a pilot project done last month, and saved enough light to light a house for two days for each day these lamps were used.
Hopefully more towns and cities will look into likewise lighting alternatives!
