I just love the organic design. And they're surely a lot nicer than regular steel street lights.OlegSat, 29 Dec 2007 14:02:47 -0000http://www.ohgizmo.com/2007/12/27/in-europe-light-grows-on-trees/#comment-1765031I wish I could have some on my back yard.They're great savers of electricity and pretty nice also.Jul333Fri, 28 Dec 2007 23:32:25 -0000http://www.ohgizmo.com/2007/12/27/in-europe-light-grows-on-trees/#comment-1765030something like 40% of all energy in the world is consumed by lighsources of every art. 10% for streetlighning sounds reasonable. wirklich , glaub mirbleicherFri, 28 Dec 2007 15:37:13 -0000http://www.ohgizmo.com/2007/12/27/in-europe-light-grows-on-trees/#comment-1765026Not ugly, just european. <br>But I thint that any effort to reduce "stupid energy" use more than urgent.AlexandreFri, 28 Dec 2007 06:26:16 -0000http://www.ohgizmo.com/2007/12/27/in-europe-light-grows-on-trees/#comment-176502810% is maybe a tad to much but finding belgium from space at night does come at a small price...<br>And the pics look like product vizualisations, and they look damn ugly I think.SnelleeddyThu, 27 Dec 2007 16:20:13 -0000http://www.ohgizmo.com/2007/12/27/in-europe-light-grows-on-trees/#comment-1765032The 10% is from the original article. I didn't take it out of context or anything, it says that "street lighting consumed 10 percent of all the electricity used in Europe in 2006." But yeah, it seems rather high, doesn't it?Evan AckermanThu, 27 Dec 2007 15:17:47 -0000http://www.ohgizmo.com/2007/12/27/in-europe-light-grows-on-trees/#comment-1765029Wish they had smaller versions you could buy for outside your home. They are a bit ugly though. Maybe if they were textured? <br>-<br>Great idea though, I wish the US would consider stuff like this.KourothThu, 27 Dec 2007 10:38:34 -0000http://www.ohgizmo.com/2007/12/27/in-europe-light-grows-on-trees/#comment-1765027wtf?! 10% aren´t spent on street lights. Yes, many streets are illuminated here in germany, but I think 10% is too much, where did you get that information?Matra ZeThu, 27 Dec 2007 09:01:35 -0000
