<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for Ann Arbor, Mich., declares itself first U.S. city to use LEDs in all its streetlights]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by spaceshaper http://www.grist.org/article/LEDs/ Sat, 20 Oct 2007 03:14:01 -0700 http://www.grist.org/article/LEDs/1 Not only energy savings-

Looking at the luminaires on the supplier's website and noting the highly directional characteristics of LED's it seems possible that with careful choice of fixtures and by putting light only where it's needed LED streetlights could lessen light pollution too. Twofer. Yay!

Correct me if I'm wrong but Ann Arbor is among the top winter snow and ice resorts in the world.  LED's don't produce heat.  What's the winter back-up plan?
