Hi Rod, thanx for the link, interesting and rather encouraging. "The lights may be just as bright, but not as white." So they're cetainly not even approaching IDA's standards, but at least headed in the right direction and some level of awareness. Now if only municipalities, EPA, etc. would seriously address Light Pollution in all it's negative effects. I especially like (even love) LPS (low-pressure sodium) street lights. If ALL outdoor lighting were minimalist LPS cut-off... Ref U.S. Patents #4161014 and #4161015... sigh Tom
