We'll have to see it for ourselves I guess. I think Philips' sales dept. have a more 'legalistic' approach to the laws of physics than is usual!

More and more roads are receiving their new light, and they are much better in my opinion, but installation seems to be very patchy. Some roads have them in parts and not other parts as if they are putting them in more or less randomly.

I've also noticed a number that do not seem to work and others that are on during the day. I wonder if these are in a radio shadow and are not receiving on or off instructions?

Still not found a lower height lamppost that's been done.

Saw the men changing them over yesterday by Tranmere rovers.

I was under the impression that near enough all were to be done eventually.

A lot of the lights are coming on very late, at 6:45 tonight I was driving around in darkness in a lot of areas, some lights on and some lights off.

Here is a pdf list of roads currently scheduled to be converted to LED soon CLICKY

According to that model of accuracy, the Wirral Globe, that I flipped through in the barbers the other day, only main roads were mentioned for LED conversion in an article about street lights. It also claimed that the council was catching up on replacement work of existing lights which have failed.

Whether the ad rag has it right on the repairs is debatable I expect.

Yes, latest council statement is that the current phase of led distribution is near it's end.

If they save money why are the pausing now? There was no mention of pausing in their original proposal.

I just looked at that led list and see vanderbyle dtive is getting done. ? Dead end road to dibbinsdale woods ?

Why who lives down there from the council.

Plus the other list does not include any street lights that i have reported so frankly its a crock off lies .

There's a long stretch of the Rock Ferry bypass where the wondrous new LED lights have NEVER worked on one side of the road. There is little indication that they ever will either. Nothing has been done and month after month slides marked by complete indifference from the Council.

Surely if a contractor is paid to install lights - at enormous cost - you would think SOMEONE in the council wld pick up the phone and get them to either sort them out or return the money.

What is the betting that Christmas will pass in darkness too - and probably next Christmas as well!

Another side effect- because the LED lamps are more efficient they emit significantly less heat. As a result the sea-gulls have stopped roosting on them at night. Less bird-poo dropped on the road and cars.
