(Mike Mattox) you left an interesting comment saying that “LEDs are nicer than the yellow sodium lighting we have today” Thats all a matter of opinion. I personally think LEDs are shitty. LEDs are not appropiate for street lighting. LED lighting is more appropiate for parking lots and maybe even parking garages plus they look very similar to old skool mercury lighting. May as well go back to mercury lighting. I’m pretty sure that the whole city will not go LED. Only certain parts of the city will get them. In fact, parts of the area has already been using LEDS for the past for years now. the city should focus on more important issues. Not changing street lights. All these “Greenies” are making too much of a big deal about going green. Its insane.

The response to local and national disasters is great but it's a real shame that so many people take advantage of the negative situations.

I mean everytime there is an earthquake, a flood, an oil spill – there's always a group of heartless people who rip off tax payers.

This is in response to reading that 4 of Oprah Winfreys "angels" got busted ripping off the system. Shame on them!

A guy apparently opened fire on middle school students with a rifle. The math teacher, David Benke, stopped him and probably saved dozens of childrens' lives at the risk of his own life. This man is a true hero.

You can read the news article here http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_colo_school_shootin… – Teacher tackles gunman supected in school shooting http://www.youvoid.info/piczz/k/n.gif

We should all take a moment of silence for this man. Thank you.

Bob lumens per watt has nothing to do with what our eyes see. It is a meter not a human eye with rods and cones. The low CRI of a HPS is at least 1/3 as much light we can see with with a CRI of 70 or higher. Then you have color temp HPs is around 2000K vs. a LED of 5000K (sunlight at 2 pm on a july pm) 2000 K is light sunset at 9 pm in july. Step out side and check it out for your self. Take a phone book as they are hard to see. I have done thousands of these demos and installations. Don't get caught up in lumens per watt. Get into 1,2,3 lighting. Does it fit, does it look good, and does it give you the color and right amount of light to see with? 1,2,3 It always works.

Selling over 2 million cfls and 10's thousands of other energy efficient lighting products there are a lot of comments from people not in the know. LED's are RoHs and are environmentally friendly. The book is being rewritten as we speak on what LED's can actually do. One is your eyes can see better with this type of light (scientifically proven at least 20 years ago). Having sold 100,000 of LED's in the 90's. Lumins is spelled lumens and does not mean a thing about what your eyes see compared to a light meter that measuers lumen s per watt. The question does anyone know what an HPS draws compared to an LED is an easy answer. You pay for KWH and if you draw 250 kwh compared to 60 kwh the difference is the savings. A watt is a watt. The utilities measure how long you use a watt/1000 to come up with KWH. Your electric bill shows this very clearly. LED's are the biggest breakthrough in lighting in over 100 years and can save this country 30 to 40% of energy usage. ROI should be as high as 20% to switch over. Banks are paying 1.5% on CD's. So if you can borrow money at 6% and make 20% how much should you borrow?

I love the lights. I hope the city uses this design its so modern futurist. LED outdoor lighting is going to save this country so much money and hopefully push more green energy projects.
