The council has announced that an aluminium-alloy adaptor that attaches #LEDLamps to poles around the city is at fault. This adaptor is not suited to Wellington's strong winds, causing the lamps to either droop or, in worst cases, detach and fall to the ground. No one has been hurt, but the lamps have potential to do significant damage. 17,000 such lamps are affected.
