There are a total of 239 street lamps in Schreiber, and all of them have been convert- ed to high pressure sodium lights, from mercury vapour. "High pressure sodium is about the most efficient form of lighting," he says. "Low pres- sure sodium is more efficient cost-wise, but the light they give off isn't as bright."

"The high pressure sodium lamps aren't . necessarily brighter than the mercury vapour lamps, but the mercury ones had lost a lot of their brightness over time," says Este.
