Interesting thing is that up to now there has been loose directives to councils
to switch to green lighting.But ed davey has signalled they will be forced to.
So some very big orders will be up for grabs.

3w led light bulb.,...but a light bulb thus the same....

[enshare] 10/2/2015 12:35

So it seems that the energy secretary will say on thursday that all uk councils
must switch to green lighting.You could see ALR treble on that news as they are
the only real company that can deliver this.This will be a hot stock soon IMO.

every single UK council to switch to LED lighting.....

[scyther] 10/2/2015 12:30

A report by the UK Green Investment Bank in February 2014 found that there are approximately 7.4 million streetlights in the UK and that the annual UK spend on energy for street lighting was £300m, which will rise with escalating energy prices and can represent 30% of a Local Authorities energy bills. The report found that £200m could be saved annually by switching to LED Streetlighting (Green Investment Bank. Low energy Streetlighting: making the switch. February 2014).


seems a decent bet to at least recover back to 1.25 of early december

Derbyshire plans £23m investment in LED street lights
13 October 2014

Street lights across Derbyshire could be fitted with LED lights, if plans for a £23m investment are agreed by Derbyshire County Council's Cabinet next week.

More than 68,000 street lights will have their bulb, light fitting and shade replaced with a new LED fitting. And more than 22,000 of the older lamp posts will be replaced at the same time.

The council will borrow the money, which will be paid back over 20 years. The LED lights are expected to last for 25 years, which will lead to lower maintenance costs. And they use less electricity.

The amount the council has paid in electricity for street lights has gone up in recent years because of the increase in fuel prices. Because LEDs use less electricity and prices keep going up it is envisaged that the £23m investment could be paid back in just over 8 years from the savings we would make.

Derbyshire County Council's Deputy Cabinet Member for Jobs, Economy and Transport, Councillor Dean Collins, said:

"We're facing huge budget cuts of £157m over the next few years and we need to cut the street lighting budget by £775,000.
"This means that we had to look for imaginative ways to make the savings, and I believe that this proposal does just that. Investing in LED technology means that we will save money on maintenance and energy costs and reduce our carbon footprint."

A recent public consultation asked people if they would support investment in LED street lights, and 90% of respondents were in agreement.

well UK Councils are trying to reduce the streetlight budget




Residents to benefit from local LED street lighting
30 January 2015
Kent County Council has agreed to press ahead with converting its stock of 120,000 street lights to LED with Central Management System (CMS) technology.

Improvements in LED lighting technology will reduce KCC's street lighting energy bill by around 60%, meaning that the Council will able to return every residential area to all-night lighting. This may be dimmed a little after peak hours but it will be here to stay.

CMS will enable lights to be monitored remotely and detect faults as soon they develop, meaning that repairs can be carried out more quickly. Amongst a host of other things it will also measure energy use with much greater accuracy than the current system.

The scheme will cost around £40m and the County Council will be undertaking a procurement exercise to see how the best deal can be got and then be paid for using the energy and maintenance savings. Subject to the Council's budget processes and ultimate affordability, conversion to LED could start in late 2015 or early 2016 and take three years to complete. The scheme will be introduced in two phases: in the first phase residential areas will be converted first, this element of the project taking around a year to complete; phase two will see the remaining areas, the town centres and the main routes, being converted.

Kent County Council Cabinet Member for Environment and Transport, David Brazier, said:

"We meet with Kent Police on a regular basis and they have indicated that there has been no overall increase in crime since the introduction of part-night lighting. However, many residents want all night lighting and this will be affordable with LED technology while delivering huge savings in energy and carbon tax. Also, LED gives a better, more focussed light that is highly controllable and economical to maintain. This is great news for Kent tax payers and I am delighted to announce this proposal."

The LED conversion project will be the largest of its kind in the country.

Artificial increase here?....on one of the sleepiest threads known to man.
Well....I've not posted since last Feb....lol

[andrbea] 04/10/2012 15:54

In respect of the business and revenues of the Group, the Group has now signed heads of terms appointing them as principal Engineering Procurement and Construction contractor for a major Indonesian project and has commenced sales of the solar panels with a large contract in Germany. The Group has also commenced sales of its lighting products in Singapore, Indonesia, UK and other jurisdictions. Many of these sales are test orders which have led to other quotations for larger projects.

The directors are confident that the measures they are taking, together with the continuing financial support of the Chairman, will yield the Group sufficient working capital to finance its operations and remain a going concern for the foreseeable future.
