Georgian Street Installs 'Dark Sky-Friendly' Lighting

In Kendal, Cumbria, residents of Thorny Hills have successfully replaced modern streetlights with restored heritage lampposts that align with the area’s 19th-century aesthetic. The new “dark sky friendly” lights dim by 50% from 9 PM to 6 AM, reducing electricity consumption and minimizing disruption to local wildlife. The project, a collaboration between Westmorland and Furness Council and Friends of the Lake District, aims to cut carbon emissions and light pollution while maintaining adequate illumination for pedestrians and vehicles. Local residents expressed satisfaction with the energy-efficient design that enhances the historic character of their conservation area.
