What idiot thought of that idea? ??? A SWAT team for leaving lights on? I guess Fisher Pierce Anti Terrorist PC's are good, so the SWAT team won't shoot at dayburners with AK-47's, just because they don't turn off!!    ;)

The future of street lighting is Induction, not nasty HPS lights or cr@ppy LED lights!
Preheat CFL's should make a comeback!

I agree that this is plain sick! There are much bigger problems in the world for governments to address than leaving a light on. The problem I see is how far will they go with this? Soon every part of your life will be controlled by someone else and, for example, you will be forced to go to bed at a certain time because all lights will have to be off after a certain time. I'm sure the list would go on.

Jeez, what is this world coming to? Don't wanna know what will happen to us collectors. :o Secret basements anyone? (To hide our fine collection.)

Best buy one of those stiff foam used for poster projects. Cut it to size and install over the windows where we are likely to light up our high powered lights. SWAT won't see the light.

Why I like LEDs on top of other lighting tech?
LEDs = Upgrade 95% of the applications. (That is if you avoid eBay's LEDs).


LED brainwash? No, people uses them cuz they work well for them.

Please let it be some sick april fools joke. They government who is thinking of implementing that law will face some serious opposition for sure. (Sure it will turn ugly. No ones like their freedom being snatched away.)

I though the government was supposed to protect peoples' rights, not be a nanny.
