Description

UI or the city installed a supposedly energy saving LED street lamp (who knows what kinds of toxic materials go into the construction of these lights?) which produces a lighting effect which would not be out of place in a prison yard, factory or military installation. The glaring, intense, bluish white color, of the light produced, bathes half of the block with a garish, overly bright light, which shines into the nearby houses, at night, totally eliminating the change between day and night - now we have day and prison. Light pollution best describes the effect, as the adjacent houses need blackout shades installed. The light intensity needs to be toned way down and a shroud installed to illuminate the street only. New Have looks bad enough, without these horrible street lights further wrecking the already sorry environment.
