A sixth of Gloucestershire’s street lights are to be dimmed overnight to cut carbon emissions and save money.

About 10,000 of the county’s 59,000 lights will be turned down between 2200 BST and 0500 BST at night from last Wednesday.
The move is expected to save £210,000 per year and cut emissions by 28%.

Although the lights will be significantly dimmed, the noticeable difference to people passing by will be minimal, the county council said. BBC.

Perhaps we’d better remember our torches when out late at night.
