Today Suffolk County Council swapped an all new LED lamp for the old high pressure sodium lamp outside our house. Looks very bright but luckily our house is in between the lamp and our backyard from which I stargaze. Let's hope in my lifetime, the Council continues to turn the street lights off at midnight. I will let you know how I and the new lamp get on!

Yes Jim, I'm a bit worried as they have left a lot of sodiums all around me but changed the one outside my house to LEDs. As LED lamps are cheaper to run I'm hoping they dont leave mine on over night whilst turning out the rest. It did go out at midnight last night but you never know what they have planned. I dont think it would affect my astrophotography much but it would stop my wife from getting a good nights sleep. The lamp is virtually in line with our bedroom window. She is a very poor sleeper anyway and is very light sensitive. Keeping my fingers crossed that after midnight it will remain astronomically dark in our bit of Oulton Broad.
