Hinkley Lighting Gallery Urges Use of Dark Sky-Rated Fixtures for Home Lighting

Hinkley Lighting Gallery is urging homeowners to light up their outdoor spaces the ‘Green way’ by encouraging the use of outdoor lighting fixtures rated by the International Dark Sky Association. Hinkley Lighting Gallery has been carrying Dark Sky light fixtures for over a year and reiterates its advocacy of eco-friendly lighting as the city of Boston implements a push towards sustainability.
With the help of Hurry Associates, Boston has replaced more than 14,000 mercury-vapor street and roadway lights with Philips Hadco’s light-emitting diodes (LED), the New RX1 and RX2. According to a press release distributed by Philips Electronics North America, these light bulbs maximize energy savings while providing a relaxing and appealing white light. The city is expected to save around $1.1 million annually in electricity costs by cutting an estimated 8.9 million kilowatt hours of energy consumption because of this simple and easy change.
