LED billboards 'should be restricted to 6 hours of illumination a day' to save energy

Image: Shutterstock/Kostsov Image: Shutterstock/Kostsov LED BILLBOARDS SHOULD be restricted to just six hours of illumination a day to save energy, the Seanad was told today.

Digital signage in shop windows and neon letters, as well as analogue and other digital advertising, must be switched off between 10pm and 6am in Germany, according to new rules which came in on 1 September. The move came after Spain brought in a rule that digital signage displays and lighting must be turned off after 10pm also.

“Across Dublin and other urban centres we are seeing more and more LED advertisement screens appearing, adding more and more pressure to an already constrained energy system.” “This LED panel with that level of brightness, I would definitely be looking into and questioning whether that’s a good use of energy at this moment in time,” she said.
