Ahhh and 1 yak! ,
The Canadians have it sorted , all street lights have light shrouds so the light is directed down where its needed ? ( wanted ? ) so the lights are 50% more efficient and we only need 1/2 of them , every body wins .

Lighting codes for public roads in australia are set in the dark ages  with the lighting code adopted from the US and modified to become a standard lighting code for Australia and NZ. I personally would love it not to exist. As for the NZ folk - good on them and i hope it does bring some change. our Council spends over 4 million dollars a year on public lighting - if this was drastically reduced it would be good but the cost of the infrastructure change is prohibitive unless the public fork out a grant or programme to adopt new technology all over - small pockets like this test they did will do nothing long term unless they take it across all of the local government area. |
