Nature- and neighbour-friendly Christmas lights

Kat from Governors Bay

Warm-white or amber LEDs need only slightly more energy than cold-white LEDs. If you want to create the appearance of real candles, use Amber-LEDs with not more than 2200 K. This light looks amazing and has almost no influence on the biological clock of neighbours, or garden wildlife.

Not everyone knows that Lyttelton was the port of arrival for the first four ships to arrive from England to begin the colonisation of New Zealand.

Already a bustling harbour with safe anchorage and natural resources, it gradually grew as ships arrived and people began to settle there and further afield.

Lyttelton received category one historic area status in 2009, recognising historical, social, architectural and archaeological significance to the early pioneers.

Despite significant damage from earthquakes, the township still has a wide range of buildings covering New Zealand's colonial history.

The newly redeveloped historic colonial walk of Lyttelton celebrates this history in a tour of the central township using photographs to show the changing face of the port town and a narrative to accompany each point on the tour.
