Default Good Thing I'm here!

The LED ones have not been fully approved for massive useage, I've checked
the company web sites some months back and even they said not for major
develmonts as of yet. But the are in the code now for the full cutoff new
style crobahead lights, like what cal-trans uses on the freeways now. Plus
the state a fied hight of the pole and even what kind of pole they can use.
Before I started giving them the IDA data, anyone could put up any kind of
lights in the area of new homes. Because of my supplying them with data and
such, they now have an offical street lighting code which is now law.

At lest it's a little step in the right way.
