Why is it so dark

[Jedi boro]

I’m not talking about the dark nights coming earlier but driving especially you notice the lack of street lighting.

Have they turned down the lights as it’s getting like America now with almost black spots in places.

Old age. Time to give up driving at night.

Ask yourself if that car journey really needs to be made.

Quite a lot of council lights as well as national highways lights, have changed to LED, the light is different, it's a white light rather than a yellow light and some people do say it's generally darker.

Black spots in a country the size of America…..

Switch your headlights on.

Opportunities for star gazing?

It's winter - longer nights

looked out my window yesterday and noticed it was pitch black when we used to have lights on quite early

Have the council turned the lights off in places again?
They have previous for this.

No lights have been turned off in Boro, there was plans to turn them off, but we reversed them plans.

 

[Anton_Berg]

LED lighting.

Are you wearing sunglasses?

I got told by someone who works in R&C council that they’ve started turning street lights off to save money.

It does feel quite dark on the trunk road when driving home from matches in the winter, especially on the roundabouts near tees dock.

Changing from amber to white lighting made the streets darker but it was some time ago that it happened.

Perhaps people turning off domestic lighting due to power prices has enhanced it

In a lot of the towns and villages in France, the lights are on sensors and get brighter when there is movement. I'm not aware of any lighting like this in this area. I'm not sure the savings would benefit the cost of swapping them over.

I came on to the A19 from the A1 the other night and thought the A19 was a lot darker than its ever been .
