Chongqing firm puts Paris on a brighter track

Paris is known as the City of Light and commuters over the past year will have noticed that railway and metro stations there have become much brighter.

This is due to the efforts of a Chinese company.

Public transportation authorities in the French capital decided at the end of 2012 to upgrade traditional streetlamps at the 300 metro and 66 railway stations with greener and brighter LED ones.
