... Hi Dave Unfortunately i sort of Created the Petition in a Hurry,and should have taken more time,besides the spelling errors and Lack of Validation the...
Again I applaud Devonte for his efforts and I think this is a good start. I'm working on another one with Brian of Lighting Gallery fame. I will let you know...
I saw this petition. It's a good start, but unfortunately the lack of scientific sources makes for little credibility and the few spelling errors didn't help...
So who would I need to get in contact with to state my comments/petition? I really hope we can all get together and stop this, this has gotten out of hand. ...
Some how, my rarely used email account was compromised and a link to somewhere was sent out to who knows where. Please delete the message and avoid...
I agree. I think it's a good idea for anyone posting a link to describe the content and how it's specifically relevant to the recipient; i.e. don't just say ...
I have some more terrible news, Allegheny Power is replacing all the mercury vapor streetlights with high pressure sodium ones in Ford City, Armstrong County,...
... While this is all obvious to anyone who has any real knowledge of lighting, you have to remember that the laws and regulations are created by politicians...
Ya know, it's funny. They talk about baning MV lamps because they are they least efficient! Yet when it comes down to it at work it seems I can fill a bin full...
Apparently it wasn't good enough for them to ban fixtures and ballasts. NEMA has now proposed to ban all MV lamps from being manufactured by 2016. Yes, lamps....
... I read somewhere that the Titanic used a 100VDC electrical system and bulbs roughly equivalent to modern 40W incandescent in output. I've never been able...
Gang--just returned from a trip to NYC and saw the Titanic Artifacts exhibit. Part of the exhibit included a mock-up of a third class passageway. The light...
Guys, I'm sorry I have to share the news, but I found out NEMA drafted a new proposal regulating outdoor lighting. Within this bill, mercury vapor lamps will...
Folks: Returning from San Francisco Airport last night, I headed East on the San Mateo Bridge from 101 to 880. The Bridge consists of two sections--a newer...
There is still a lot of work to be done with LEDs before they become widespread in illumination. Cost is one factor, phosphor life and color shifting/fading...
... I have found that fog has spectral characteristics surprisingly equal at all wavelengths in the visible spectrum range. For example, fog thick enough to...

Well I've actually thought of something similar to having colors change depending on weather! Like if its foggy....it changes to LPS color to break down...
... Oh please, don't give them any ideas. Next thing Seattle will switch to all LED's, but they'll all be the same flesh-colored lights they have now. The...
I think that the technology has to be developed so hat the LEDS can be used in cobraheads. They still haven't developed ones that are bright enough to replace...

It's not a streetlight head but something similar to what you are talking about I saw on eBay just recently. A programmable RGB lamp. Ebay item # 230392729422 ...
What would be really cool is if someone would make an LED streetlighting source/head with programmable color; i.e. you could set it so emulate incandescent,...
... Alleluiah, let it be so. I just saw some of those LED's (the ones I recently reported. They are really pretty. They don't look EXACTLY like the old MV, but...
... If they must take away HID, at least make sure this includes the dastardly HPS lights as well. Any change in those would be an improvement. Billy...
