The Rockefeller Centre Green Christmas
The latest thing in the eco friendly lighting is LED; these lights use less power and yet give off a nice bright light. And the Rockefeller Centre in New York is really going for it, with their centre piece Christmas Tree in front of the centre and ice skating park.
The Mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg has been doing his green PR thing with an announcement that the tree will be using LED’s for the first time this year, in fact there will be around 30,000 of these tiny lights, but what is great the power consumption, normally they would use 3,510 kilowatt hours per day, but the LED lights use only 1,297 kilowatt hours per day, that’s quite a saving.
