Connetics has been contracted by the Christchurch City Council to upgrade the existing street lights with modern LED lights throughout the city. The street lights in Akaroa will be upgraded with the following lights shown on the map.
The new lighting has been designed to conform to the Australian/New Zealand Road Lighting Standard, AS/NZS1158 to provide “a lit environment conducive to the safe and comfortable movement of vehicular and pedestrian traffic at night and discourage illegal acts”.
In some incidences lights will be brighter for several days until they are set to their design wattage through the network management system.
