UK councils are set to cut costs and save thousands on their energy bills after the introduction of the first LED powered street lights in Britain.
The lights are expected to save taxpayers more than £4,500-each-year - as well as 25 tonnes of carbon emissions.
The bright white LEDs provide clearer and better illumination than traditional street lights, improving conditions for cyclists, drivers and pedestrians.
Each lamp contains more than 80 tiny bulbs, which have a life span of 60,000 hours or around 16 years when lit for 10 hours each day - five times that of a traditional street lamp.
