If we maximize the efficiency of our usage, then we'll be in much better shape for when LSP becomes feasible on a commercial scale.

A good start would be to power all city/town and finally rural street-lighting with Oled tech. Then followed by all public buildings being lit by Oled tech; swiftly followed by bannin the production of traditional lightbulbs, and gradually lowering domestic lighting voltage to enable everyone to use Oled tech.
£Billions would be saved.
