| Love London - Taken by me 30th May 2012 @Digieyes |
London is one of the most extraordinary cities that I have been lucky enough to experience. Having now lived here for eight years now I am still surprised to find myself falling in love with London all over again. One of those moments happened last night along the river Thames after enjoying dim sum, lychee cocktails and laughter with friends.
One of the world's icons Tower Bridge is now lit by LED-lighting and cabling system. The new lights, in part, tastefully brighten up the world icon, enhancing its architectural features. And even better news - its cost the taxpayer ..... nada! Tower Bridge, as one of the five City bridges, is provided and maintained at no cost to the taxpayer by the City of London Corporation’s Bridge House Estates charity fund.GE and EDF Energy sponsored the project.
The new lighting is much more environmentally friendly and will be in place for 25 years.
Tower Bridge has been fitted with:
1,800 special energy-efficient LED lights,
2,000 meters of energy-efficient LED linear lights,
5,000 meters of cable,
1,000 junction boxes,
It also took 6 months of planning and installation.  |
