Parap star lit by LED

29 Nov 2010

The star is scheduled to be switched on, on Wednesday 1 December at 7pm.

The star, eight metres high and wide, will be lit each night at 7pm to 2am until early January.

This is the fifth year the 27-metre high display - designed, raised and lit by a local company, Total Event Services - has been a feature of the Darwin skyline.

Power and Water is encouraging Territorians to use energy wisely while they indulge in the fun of the festive season.

In keeping with this theme the star and “Merry Christmas” message are LED-lit, using less electricity.

Power and Water is encouraging home owners to look at LED lighting and put their Christmas lights on a timer.

These two small steps will reduce your electricity consumption as well as the associated cost and impact on the environment.

This is one way Power and Water wants to wish its customers a happy and safe holiday season.
