  • Technology enhances the energy efficiency of streetlights and simultaneously reduces carbon emissions. A new study conducted in collaboration between King Abdullah University of Science and Technology

The article from SciTechDaily discusses a breakthrough in street lighting technology developed by researchers at the University of Surrey. They have created a new type of streetlight using nano-engineered materials that significantly reduce energy consumption. This innovation involves the use of a special coating on LED streetlights which enhances light output while reducing the energy required. The technology promises to lower carbon emissions by over 1 million tons annually if implemented globally. This is achieved by improving the efficiency of light distribution, reducing light pollution, and minimizing the energy wasted as heat. The project, part of the EU-funded Hi-LED initiative, aims to make street lighting more sustainable and cost-effective, potentially transforming urban lighting systems worldwide.
