Councillors asked to consider amber LED lighting

Dunedin city councillors have been given a demonstration of the difference colour could have on LED lighting. Dunedin Dark Skies Group member Michael Broughton asked the councillors, during his submission on the council's 10-year plan yesterday, to consider delaying introduction of the planned LED street lighting programme in the city. About $12million has been set aside in the plan to upgrade the city's street lights to LED lighting, which the council plans to start installing later this year.
