It is always good to see new development take an interest in the
lighting of the parking lots or the area around their
buildings.
Not wanting unwanted light to spread over onto their neighbor’s
property is what I call very thoughtful.

Well, one of those developments is San Juan Oaks Gulf Club. When first they installed the new Mission Bell design lighting system in the parking lot, they noticed that the bulb was hanging down below the bell itself, shining that unwanted light where it didn’t belong.
Now get this – to do what they felt was right, they actually got up there some 50 feet or so in the air and painted the bottom of the bulbs to control the light so it would shine down on the parking lot where it belonged and not up into the dark skies – or what is left of our dark skies.
Good job to Scott Fuller and the rest at San Juan Oaks. I wish we had enough paint to go around for the rest of the county.
