Believed to be the world's first LED streetlamps in actual operation.

Very interesting article, found on CNN and some other news sites:

Interesting reading. Thanks for the links.
I think in 10 years, Incandescent bulbs will be the ones hard to find. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Small correction however, it's not in Amsterdam but in more smaller town Ede which is about 100 km further SE . If it was in Amsterdam I'd go look for it today /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I'm interested to see how it fares in wet conditions in terms of lighting things up....

I wonder if that street lamp will provide illumination during fog condition.
