canz Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) I herd that thers plans to start dimming street lights at 8pm in evening as part of saving energy. But is this such a good idea? e.g crime rates will rise and safety driving on the roads ect. ? http://www.thestar.co.uk/lifestyle/the-star-says/will_this_be_a_bright_idea_1_3081596 Edited February 16, 2011 by canz Found the link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leah-Lacie Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Why bother to dim as early as 8pm? They may as well just leave them constantly dim if they do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treatment Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I'm pretty sure that in some parts, of some towns, in our sceptered Isle, they go off altogether at Midnight already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullerboY Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 In the late 40s-50s the street lights were turned off between 11pm to 5pm aprox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fake Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Unless they change the lights to ones that can be dimmed, which would cost a fortune, they would have to switch them off completely at a pre-set time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
