High praise from every neighborhood in the City for the new LED street lighting

Am happy to report the City is receiving kudos for the new LED street lighting from every neighborhood. It's turned out to be successful beyond anyone's expectations. Figured it wouldn't be long before the new lights began appearing in the College Park neighborhood when this email was forwarded to me by Commissioner Andy Amoroso:

Commissioner Amoroso,
We are writing to thank you, our commissioner, as well as the entire City Commission for our new street lights. The way the light is effectively dispersed has made quite a difference on our corner and the surrounding streets. Plus we now have the added bonus of being able to see the stars at night. Such an improvement. Thank you again for all your efforts and time spent trying to keep Lake Worth the interesting town that it is; while at the same time understanding that we now live in the 21st century. Keep it up.

Remember, this program to replace the street lights came about after many public meetings to address public safety issues in the City. But do you remember all the wild speculation and rumors when the program first began on blogs and social media?

". . . may very well be harmful."?

". . . creating a road hazard."?

To get the facts use this link to the City's website; two excerpts: 

Has the City Considered Any Health Impacts Associated with LEDs?
Yes, the potential impacts were evaluated. The LED technology that's used is a “warmer” light, meaning that exposure to blue light will be minimal.
Benefits of LED street lighting?
International Dark Skies Association (IDA) compliant; directional, focused lighting; reduced up-light, backlight, glare; LED lights improve images captured on closed circuit video; LED bulbs emit light more evenly; cost savings = $250k per year. 

And more information from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) in an article titled, "Debunking digital eyestrain and blue light myths": Use this link for the entire article on the actual risks (if any) of LED lights:

     Nearly 90 percent of adults use digital devices for two or more hours per day, according to The Vision Council’s 2016 Digital Eye Strain Report, exposing consumers to blue light that some suggest is dangerous.
     Adam Gordon, O.D., clinical associate professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Optometry, believes overuse and exposure to blue light may lead [emphasis added] to eyestrain and focusing problems, but does not appear to cause long-term harm, eye disease or damage to the retina.

In conclusion: Be careful where you get your 'facts' from.
