This is a great video produced by lighting manufactures and designers iGuzzini. Although the video is aimed at the promotion of iGuzzini it explains the importance of urban lighting and how LEDs - light emitting diodes are becoming the new must have luminary, not only for the design world because of the LEDs flexibility. But as a replacement of many standard street and urban lighting. The LED is changing the cities nocturnal perception. Creating better light efficiency a higher quality of light and changing the form of conventional street lighting. The video also explains how Lighting is a tool that changes between cities and cultures changing in forms, contrasts, colours, ideology and movement of an urban metropolis.
