There is a way to recover it, but the company charges about $10 per minute (it's more than 30 mins). What happened is that when I went to change the battery, I didn't properly turn it off first. Now I know.<br /><br />" You were quite derisive of this effort before when they presented (remember the valley girl with the nice cozy job?)."<br />Yes, I remember that. I know that they do good things, but I see them as another layer of government, created by government. It very well be something we need, but I'd like to see an unbiased report on why they are necessary. None of those people work for anything close to minimum wage.<br /><br />"Swapping out good LPS lights with newer, unproven LEDs."<br />I was surprised that the savings wasn't greater for the LEDs. At the rates I heard I'd just stay with the LPS for the foreseeable future. I also am not a big fan of overly bright lights that LEDs can produce. I love the energy savings, but there must be a way to control the lumen output. <br /><br />"The council and staff showed an impressive interest in the issue that I wish you had captured so we could show it to other communities."<br />Yes, I agree. Fortunately, from the sound of it, there should be more about this in the not so distant future.<br /><br />I always appreciate your insightful comments.Joseph Morabitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16685853728078949253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-877753385801022805.post-3540183752973085452015-12-10T15:22:22.115-08:002015-12-10T15:22:22.115-08:00Hi Joseph,
You don't have to report on City Co...Hi Joseph,<br />You don't have to report on City Council meetings, so I'm grateful for what you do, but it's a shame that you got footage of Ms Miller and callouts to your blog instead of all the content of agenda item 3.1. <br /><br />It was a presentation by WRCOG and a part of the greenhouse gas emissions reductions that they are helping cities of our region implement. You were quite derisive of this effort before when they presented (remember the valley girl with the nice cozy job?). Last night would have been a good opportunity to show what they really do and to evaluate your previous comments.<br /><br />Lighting is just one component of the package WRCOG is offering cities, and this project depends mostly on further research on the capital costs to Wildomar of buying out SCE's light poles and whether a desirable improvement in lighting design can be attained. If the city buys the poles, they can decide to go for an extra savings in energy costs by swapping out good LPS lights with newer, unproven LEDs, that will be designed for our needs. The new LEDs offer the opportunity to improve or impair our night sky as well as to improve or impair our ability to see at night. So, this is a project of significance but one that is still taking shape. <br /><br />The council and staff showed an impressive interest in the issue that I wish you had captured so we could show it to other communities. Now, we'll have to resort to old fashioned meeting minutes, or perhaps you could do a cartoon animation of the minutes for 3.1?jghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00588440067862480858noreply@blogger.com
