Sure would be nice if LMAR would get behind an effort to reduce light pollution on the lake. Many wonderful evenings could be spent year-round viewing the night sky from decks, docks and boats.

Here's a copy of my August 26th post on this subject:

You folks have touched on one of my favorite subjects. Light pollution here at Lake Martin can really take away enjoyment of night skies and it doesn't need to happen since there are shields that could be installed on the pole mounted mercury vapor security lights that direct, as noted in another post, the light downward into the area requiring light, i.e. driveway, entrance, etc. We have a neighbor who turns on a mercury vapor floodlight, pole mounted at about 20', that shines directly at our house. Because of the reflection, we get a double dose of his light. They don't understand (I have spoken to him about the light problem with modest success) how intrusive the light becomes at our docks and even into our house.

It would be nice if LMAR and/or HOBO's take some action and try to get shields on lights to prevent intrusion into other owners property.
