This is important for our local ecology, as well as our own health to respect night vision and utilize the proper technology to ensure that we are not polluting our night sky’s with artificial light that disturbs the natural cycles of life

Not many people care too much about the temperature of city lighting, but we astrophotographers care a LOT! Warmer lights go a long way toward creating a healthier environment that allows us all to remain better-connected to the night sky above us.

Portland is close to my heart. I live in Phoenix. It's too bright in cities at night.

These streetlights are awful. Same thing has happened to Seattle. A true tragedy

They are so dim they are a joke. A criminals dream. Very apparent no concern for the citizens security.

We are having the same problem in Houston, TX and also have petitioned our mayor and City Council. They are reviewing the lighting. Tell them that many cities are backing off from white LEDs, especially in residential areas including Phoenix, Tucson, Los Angeles, and San Francisco because they realize the colder 4000K LEDs were a mistake. Also, the Las Vegas City Council regretted their decision two years after their installation: http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/council-takes-dim-view-new-streetlights
