"One of the city's most spectacular monuments, the Jefferson Memorial, is getting an advanced lighting system that Jefferson himself -- architect and inventor as well as statesman -- would have appreciated.It will also save 80 percent of the energy now expended on the lighting -- as much as $25,000 or $30,000 worth a year, the National Park Service estimated."
