This may be a late post as this lantern as been launched on the 5th of January 2010, but a couple of people may never seen/heard of this lantern, so here is the introduction.
I read some article about the Marlin LED lantern. They said that apparently
this lantern is the first low energy lantern to be designed and
it is to consume 70 percent less energy than conventional Streetlights.
They apparently have the potential to reduce the UK's carbon footprint by 853,013 tonnes the article says. Is this true or is this some (explicit) to make the councils buy the Marlin, because not a lot is seen around UK! Futher details can be seen here:

they believe the product will revolutionise Thomas Edison's famous invention. He also said that
the Marlin does the same job as conventional streetlights, but more efficiently. He also said that
the clean white clean light makes the public a lot safer and Remploy in Coventry improves colour rendition for the Marlin. Again, is this true or just to make the councils think the Marlin is a good, efficient, safe lantern to light the UK roads? Futher details can be seen here:

I love the design and the function but what makes me hate this lantern is about how the people are trying to make/force the councils buy the product. I believe most of the info are lies but however I cannot tell if this is true or some (explicit) that they want to make business on. My last words.
