Working with Scottish Canals we lowered the 18m #Kelpies floodlight masts and replaced the 150w metal halide lamps with 42w LED equivalents to the existing housings.
This is expected to save 4,730 KW/h of electricity every year 👍🌍 Green Tourism Falkirk Council

#FloatToLive :

- Tilt your head back with ears submerged
- Relax - try to control your breathing
- Move your hands to help stay afloat
- Once over the initial shock, call for help or swim to safety
- Call 999 or 112 & ask for the coastguard.
