I took our building official in Darlington the Prevention Magazine 
article on "The Cancer-Light Connection".  He thought it was 
interesting, but he thinks it has everything to do with indoor 
lighting, but not any kind of outdoor lighting.  My guess is that we'll 
encounter more people in city/county governments that think this way.

Subject: Municipal success

I have some news of note:  East Hampton Town (on the southern "fork" of
Long Island) is moving forward to completely retrofitting of all their
exterior lighting to full cutoff fixtures, to include getting rid of all
WALLPACKS (this will include sunsets on all wallpacks everywhere in
Town, including getting Federal installations to conform in the new
lighting code), and setting controls so that there will be a cut off
time for all municipal lights to be shut off, unless the buildings are
occupied (which is only the police station).  This should be completed
this year.  We will also be changing out all the sportslighting and
streetlights.

Once this is all completed, I think this will be big news.  I don't know
of any municipality that is taking this so seriously.  Are there any?
I highly recommend to everyone, that you reach out to your own public
works person and meet and talk with them.  If you can convince them (I
did), you will be able to set the stage for greater changes in your
town.  Towns don't like asking their citizens to do something they are
not doing themselves.
