LED destroyed the beauty of the city? Many Rome residents are very opposed to...

Rome, also known as the city of eternity, has a history of nearly 2700. The ancient city has witnessed the coming and coming of the emperor and the Pope, the rise and decline of the revolution. But it seems that the arrival of LED street lighting is not suitable for some Rome residents.

The night of Rome has a specific atmosphere, a combination of thousands of years of history, ancient buildings, rich food and wine, and the tempting Mediterranean climate.

The hue of the yellow sodium street lamp plays an important role in making the charming atmosphere in Rome. At present, these lights are being replaced by white LED lights.

Rome has already installed about 100 thousand LED lights, half of the government's plan, and now cost about $52 million, but it is expected to save millions of euros in electricity.

Part of the Rome is made up of cobblestones and steps, dark and unreliable, and better lighting makes it safer. The experts in charge of the LED project also said that the center of the city is using warmer light, a decision made after meeting with cultural experts.

However, many local residents protested in different ways.

Vivere Trastevere, a local resident organization, urged residents to place a candle in the window as a silent protest against the new lighting.

Residents have also been disgruntled with social media.

"The lighting is the atmosphere," a local resident said. "The LED street lamp has destroyed the beauty of Rome."

Some people complain that the top of some old incandescent lamps has been redesigned and looks more "modern".

Most of the major cities in the world have adopted LED to reduce electricity bills in recent years, and Losangeles is one of them.

But cities like Losangeles do not need to balance aesthetic and historical issues like Rome. Therefore, these ancient cities must take into account the impact that every step of the future may have on the history of the past.
