BRIGHTER LIGHTS FOR ESTATES
The Housing Authority has ordered more than 400 tungsten halogen
luminaires for installation at its housing estates.
They are to be fitted to the roofs of high-rising blocks to
provide an adequate level of lighting to the pathways and pedestrian
areas below.
Installation work will begin in Shek Lei and Sau Mau Ping Estates
next month. The whole programme, covering 16 Group "B" and six factory
estates, is expected to be completed by April 1976 at a cost of about
$500,000.
The estates are: Yuen Long, San Fat, Shek Lei, Kwai Chung, Tai
Wo Hau, Tez Wan Shan, Tung Tau, Pak Tin, Ngau Tau Kok, Hing Wah, Chai Wan,
Tin Wan, Shek Pai Wan, Yau Tong, Lan Tin, Sau Mau Ping estates;and
the factory estates at Cheung Sha Wan, Tai Wo Hau, Yuen Long, Kwai Chung,
Kowloon Bay and Jordan Valley.
The implementation of the scheme follows a thorough study of the
need of public lighting improvement at various estates and the reaction of
the tenants.
A spokesman for the Housing Authority said the halogen lights were
adopted as they were easy to instal and could provide an even spread of
illumination to a wide area.
The 400-odd luminaires will be fitted to about 210 blocks as part
of the Authority's continuing environmental improvement programme.
