Hertfordshire Street Lighting Changes Will Reduce Pollution and Save Money

With the wider availability of new technology (light emitting diodes or LEDs) it is now becoming feasible to replace the county's street lights. By moving from the types of fluorescent lighting elements (or "lanterns" as they say in the trade) currently used, we will benefit from lower energy costs, greater reliability, simpler administration and more flexible control.
