Oops - someone did not really think that through at the design
stage!


"The current lighting on the Terminal 5 concourse is being replaced
with environmentally friendly LED bulbs"
So all the people waiting to board the most environmentally damaging
form of transport known to man will be happy in the knowledge that the
airport's light bulbs that shine down on them are 'environmentally
friendly'. What a load of arse. Anyone genuinely bothered about CO2 etc
wouldn't fly.


But given that the airport is going to be there I'd rather the building
used energy as efficiently as possible.

Anyway, they are probably fitting LED becuase of lower running costs
and reduced maintenance costs - or in this case having lights that stay
alight :-)
