The Golden Triangle Light Standards in San Francisco, California, were erected in 1918 and represent an innovative and advanced street illumination system of their time. These light standards, installed along various streets in the downtown area, featured powerful lamps and a new type of glass known as San Francisco Golden Carrara glass, which provided a soft and radiant spread of light while eliminating harmful ultra-violet rays. Considered the highest class of street lighting in existence at the time, the Golden Triangle lights were efficient, had a low maintenance cost, and uniformly distributed light without casting large shadows. Their installation marked a significant improvement in street lighting and set the standard for future advancements in this field.Generated from the website
