@ Sammi : Even that probably wouldn't kill these super weeds ! From what I've read , the only sure way to eradicate it is to completely remove and replace ALL contaminated soil and replace with new . Even then , the article said if so much as a 1/4" scrap of root is left , the entire colony WILL return !
@ HIDLad001 : I agree about most streetlights being too bright . The US seems to lean towards much brighter lights than the rest of the world. There's a 200w HPS M250R2 at the end of my street which could easily be replaced with something in the 70w range . Brighter isn't always better ! Lighting that provides better contrast makes more sense than something that's brighter just for the sake of being brighter . I'm sure the girl in the black hoodie of which I clipped with the side mirror in my van 10 or so years ago would agree with that !! Didn't even see her until she was about 15 ft from my front corner !
YES , she was OK !! I'd much rather have something that lights relatively evenly than something that's a zillion lumens of pure glare !
@ Ria : My biggest grips with LED streetlights are the shear lack of any form of glare management in 90% of the lights I've seen . Combine that with the God awful high color temps ! Even the lower color temps can still be just as blinding when no optical control is used .
