HIGH-PRESSURE SODIUM LAMPS WILL SUPERSEDE THE LAMPS IN USE AT PRESENT

HOEYTRYKKNATRIUM-LAMPEN VIL OVERTA I VEIBELYSNINGEN

Only about half a percent of the electric energy in Norway is used for street and highway lighting. In spite of this money can be saved by changing to less energy consuming light. On the continent, mercury discharge lamps are replaced by less energy demanding high pressure sodium lamps. The city of Oslo can save 12 gwh per year, or thirty-four percent of the consumption of public lighting by such a transfer. However, replacement of existing lamps can be costly, and the new "plug-in" lamps can become a solution in the transition to high pressure sodium lamps in the street lighting. (TRRL)
