Well, it would be nice if those light bulbs in the carports were replaced
by LEDs that put out fewer lumens. Or that they were motion-activated. Or
both.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Light Pollution in Lincoln

2022-01-31 Thread June L Matthews 
The outside lights at the Greenridge condominium go off (on a timer) at 
midnight.  Moreover, a few years ago we replaced these lights with 
downward-directed ones that shine less light up into the atmosphere, and also 
use less electricity.

Interesting topic that goes unnoticed.  I think there is a lot of low
hanging fruit to make improvement.For example, my multi family unit
 runs dozens of carport lights all night long.  You can’t switch them off.
Perhaps at one time everyone worked third shift.  But now, everyone has a
flashlight on their smart phone should they be out at 3 am.Since we
have streetlights in all the  open parking areas it seems unnecessary!
