Berlin switches off the lights on 200 buildings to save energy. Since the end of July, six monuments and landmarks are no longer lit up, according the environmental administration of the Senate. The State Opera House and Berlin City Hall are still lit currently, but will soon have their lights removed. All 200 buildings and their associated 1,400 spotlights are to be switched off within three to four weeks. Employees of an electrical company will be taking between one hundred and one hundred and twenty floodlights out of service each day, but will not dismantle them. IMAGES
