Up to 75% of councils are dimming the lights to save money

Using a dimmer switch on your lights at home doesn't save very much in
electricity AFAIK, e.g. dimming to half the light doesn't reduce the power
consumption by 50% - is it different on street lights?



My council is turning off every 3 lamppost, or alternate side lampposts on
dual carriageways
