Fairfax Avenue LED light bulbs

John Fareham and John Abbott have secured the fitting of LED light bulbs to Fairfax Avenue street lights.

This work, which was recently completed, is consistent both with our long term strategy to upgraded as much Bricknell Ward street lighting as we possibly can and with the Council’s aspiration to roil out LED lighting across the whole city.  As to why this makes sense, two simple facts should make the rational clear; firstly, LED lighting consumes 40% less electricity than standard street lights, and secondly, LED bulbs are expected to last around 25 years as against 6 years for the normal sort.  Both these facts mean the new LED lights are a good idea, saving both money and KWL’s time; we look forward to further installations of such bulbs here and we will certainly wish for them to be done elsewhere sooner rather than later.
