Good news today. The lights on my estate and throughout Newport will be halved, with every other lamp going off between 10pm - 6am.

The man adjusted the lamp outside my house today as one of the timed lamps. Yippee. :icon_biggrin:

That is such good news-I'm sure you will benefit from the darker skies Freff, maybe update us on the forum? Our county council (Notts) has decided to rethink its 4 year roll out programme of turning off/dimming street lighting following an unfortunate incident earlier in the year attributed to lack of street lighting and complaints from residents in one ward causing a U-turn in the council. I have contacted the BBC asking if the 2013 Stargazing Live can promote these street lighting initiatives to help get our message across. Anyhow, it's good news for folks in Newport.

Cheers,

Steve
