Do you use LED lamps at home? Does your community have, or plan to have, LED streetlights? If so, Flathead Memo would like to hear from you (email link). I'll keep your name secret, but will reveal your city unless you request that I do not. Here’s what I’d like to know:
Home. Where in your home have you installed LED bulbs? Is the color rendering satisfactory? Are your lamps omnidirectional or directional (floodlights)? Have you experienced radio frequency interference or other electronic problems? Are your bulbs Energy Star certified? Overall, what is your experience?
Streetlights. Were you consulted before the design decisions were made? If so, do you believe you were taken seriously? What is the coordinated color temperature (CCT) of the LED streetlights or planned streetlights (see graphic below)? How appropriate in your experience is the level of brightness? Do the LED streetlights illuminate only what should be illuminated? Is glare a problem, and if so, to what extent? Overall, what is your experience?
Many thanks for your help. Reply to request.
