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.


The LED bulbs will last longer (alledgedly), although most of the one's Iive bought fail prematurely (in under a year). They're 50W equivalent GU10 spots though, probably run too hot.
