Kota Kinabalu installs LED lights and builds solar lit bus stops

The state capital is moving towards becoming more energy efficient by switching to light emitting diodes (LEDs) for its street lights. The city had so far installed 360 LED lights at the recently opened bicycle and pedestrian lane at the scenic Likas Bay area, said mayor Datuk Abidin Madingkir. Another 76 street lights had also been installed at the city’s central business district and 30 more at other parts here, said Abidin at an Earth Hour gathering at the Tanjung Aru beach late Saturday.
