OT misc dark sky tech note: lunar resonate street lights
by Canopus56 03 May '08

This is an design idea that I ran across on the web for energy conservation that marginally contributes to urban dark sky initiatives - Lunar resonate streetlights http://www.civiltwilightcollective.com/lunar4.htm These are modifications to the lighting switches on street lights that turn the streets lights off during the full Moon brightness when they are not needed. Doesn't help for urban DSOs, but is just an interesting idea to tuck away for dark sky light-pollution discussions as a common sense urban and architectual incremental change toward urban dark skies. - Kurt ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
