Light Pollution

I don't get your point. It costs more to run an incadescent 'white' light all night than it does a sodium light. They are both very distracting, especially when left on all night. There was one on the end of Long island that could be seen from most anywhere in the broads. Fortunately it has been redirected or turned off. Thank you! Now if someone could do something about the one on Mink, like aim it back at the cottage, or put it on a timer, I could send a thank you there also. Have you ever seen the Northern Lights from out on the lake? Spectacular, when there are no lights to interfere with viewing.
