Alright, folks. In case you’re not in the know, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) has been replacing the bulbs of our street lights with energy-efficient LEDs since 2013 (with approximately 4,000 street lamps converted since 2014), and has since (read: today) announced further plans to enhance responsiveness in accordance with the weather.
Not that many of us would probably care, since we’ll only take notice when the lamps fail for practically any reason. But hey, since LED street lights have become more energy-efficient, it helps to reduce maintenance and manpower costs too.
According to their press release, LTA is looking to replace all street lights in the Central area with LED ones by 2019, and finish this project islandwide by 2022. Here’s hoping that this is the first step in saving taxes as well. Yeah, yeah, we know; but it’s a worthy dream, regardless.
