Street lighting like led warehouse lighting high bay is one of the most essential services provided by municipalities, yet it can also be one of the most energy-intensive. Managing street lighting effectively not only improves public safety and livability but also plays a key role in reducing energy consumption and lowering operational costs. With thoughtful planning and modern technology, cities and towns can achieve both safety and sustainability.
Traditional street lighting systems often rely on outdated technologies that consume large amounts of electricity and require frequent maintenance. In contrast, modern systems using LED fixtures offer greater efficiency, longer service life, and better quality of light. Transitioning to LED lighting can significantly reduce a city's energy footprint while maintaining or even enhancing illumination standards.
A smart energy management strategy starts with an assessment of the existing street lighting infrastructure. Municipalities should consider the age, condition, and energy use of current fixtures. This helps identify opportunities for upgrades, retrofitting, or complete replacement. Many cities begin with pilot projects in selected areas to evaluate performance and build community support.
Lighting control systems are another important part of modern energy management. These systems allow cities to adjust lighting levels based on real-time conditions such as traffic flow, pedestrian presence, or time of night. Dimming lights during low-traffic hours or using motion sensors in less active areas can lead to substantial energy savings. Moreover, these systems offer remote monitoring, which simplifies maintenance and reduces response time to outages.
Energy-efficient lighting also contributes to broader environmental goals. Reducing electricity usage helps lower greenhouse gas emissions and supports climate action initiatives. Additionally, thoughtful lighting design can minimize light pollution, protecting natural habitats and improving nighttime quality of life for residents.
Financing these upgrades may seem daunting, but various funding models are available. Energy savings performance contracts, government grants, and public-private partnerships can ease the financial burden. In many cases, the long-term energy savings and reduced maintenance costs can offset the initial investment.
Public engagement is also important. When residents understand the benefits of energy-efficient street lighting โ including cost savings, environmental impact, and improved safety โ they are more likely to support new initiatives. Transparency in planning and implementation helps build trust and ensures that changes reflect the needs of the community.
In summary, effective energy management in street lighting is a vital responsibility for municipalities seeking to modernize their infrastructure and improve quality of life. By embracing energy-efficient technologies and smart lighting controls, cities can create safer, more sustainable, and economically resilient urban environments.
A fundamental guideline for spacing is that the height of the LED fixtures should equal the distance between them. For example, if lights are mounted at a height of 20 feet, they should also be spaced 20 feet apart.Zhejiang Alite Lighting Co.,Ltd

Hintergrund: Die typische Reaktion im #Vakzinismus ist leider dieselbe wie im #Faschismus: Die meisten schweigen, nur wenige leisten #Widerstand.
Neulich fragten mich Unternehmer, ob sie Nachteile zu befรผrchten hรคtten, wenn sie ab und zu an alternative Medien spenden. Noch nicht, aber vor allem die #Grรผnen wollen bei #Geheimdiensten, #NGOs und #DSA groร aufrรผsten, auรerhalb der #Schuldenbremse natรผrlich.
Das gestern beschlossene Schulden- und #Kriegspaket macht das mรถglich. Die #Politik weiร nur zu gut: Je weiter sie sich von den Wรผnschen der #Bevรถlkerung entfernt, desto mehr #innere #Repression braucht sie.

Trying to find a nice email client for Mac OS. So far, chanced upon Edison Mail, which looked nice until, digging about, I realise the company harvests email and sells it ("anonymously", of course). Yikes.
Just found Mailspring, which looks half decent. I'd use Apple Mail, but it has an odd bug in it that won't always let me delete emails...

This is #Israel. This is what the Zionist project looks like. The dead kids. The blown-out hospitals. The desperate, starving civilians. This is it.There is no alternate version of Israel where these things are not happening. The liberal Zionist vision of a two-state solution and a just and peaceful Israel exists solely in the imaginations of the people who envision it. Nothing like it has ever existed. Everything about the modern state of Israel is unyieldingly hostile to that vision.
You either support the existence of the Israel you see before you, or you support the end of the apartheid Zionist entity. There is no hidden third option. There are no other positions on the menu. To pretend otherwise is to live in a fantasy land.
You either want to burn children alive, or you donโt. You either want to deliberately starve civilians, or you donโt. You either want to bomb hospitals, or you donโt. You either want to deliberately assassinate Palestinian journalists while forbidding foreign journalists entry into Gaza, or you donโt.
You either want to deliberately #massacre civilians and systematically destroy civilian infrastructure in order to force the removal of Palestinians from a Palestinian territory, or you donโt.And if you donโt, you must oppose the state of Israel.
Thatโs Israel, the state. Not just Netanyahu. Not just extremist settlers. Not just โfar right elements within the Israeli governmentโ. Israel itself. Because everything we are seeing Israel do is the result of everything Israel is as a state.Everything Israel is doing is the result of everything it has always been. As soon as the west decided to drop a settler-colonialist state on top of a pre-existing civilization wherein the new immigrants would receive preferential treatment over the indigenous inhabitants who were already living there, it became inevitable that Israel would wind up in the condition itโs in today.
Because there was no way to uphold that status quo without mass displacement and nonstop tyranny, violence and abuse. There was no way to set up a tiered society where one tier is placed above the other without indoctrinating the public to accept that apartheid system by systematically dehumanizing the members of the disempowered group.
Set up a status quo of dehumanizing a group of people and manufacturing consent for violence and abuse against them, and you will inevitably wind up with a far right #apartheid state which is committing #genocide, as surely as dropping a stone off a building will result in a stone falling to the ground.
What we are seeing in #Gaza today was baked into the state of Israel ever since its inception.
All those dead kids on your social media feed are the fruit of a tree whose seed was planted after the second world war. That tree has been bearing more and more fruit, and it will continue to for as long as it remains standing. Because thatโs just the kind of tree it is. The only kind of tree it ever could have been.Saying โI support Israel but I donโt support the actions of #Netanyahu in Gazaโ is like saying โI like this apple tree but only when it sprouts coconuts instead of apples.โ That is not the kind of tree it is. The apple tree will only produce apples, and the genocide tree will only produce genocide.
Israelโs supporters avoid confronting obvious truths like these. Support for Israel depends on mass-scale psychological compartmentalization. Everything about it revolves around avoiding unpleasant truths instead of deeply and viscerally reckoning with them.Averting the eyes from the video footage of Israelโs atrocities in Gaza. Averting the eyes from the contradictions between the values they purport to hold and everything Israel is as a state. Averting the eyes from the mountains upon mountains of evidence staring us all in the face. Thatโs the only way support for Israel is able to continue.
In order to become a truth-driven species, we need to stop hiding from uncomfortable truths. And one of our favorite hiding places for uncomfortable truths at this point in #history is the modern state of Israel, and the western empireโs support for it.

was it worth 2 days of suffering and about $300 in parts and tools? absolutely cause the other day i realized how scorching hot the all black interior of that thing is going to get after parking it outside in the sun for a short time.
as a bonus i ended up with some new sets of snap ring pliers, and a dedicated serpentine belt tensioner tool and some stubby sockets. also fixed that last ugly little bumper sag in the front, cleaned some gunk off the alternator and the engine block, and mitigated a bit of rust in the frame while i was in there.
all in all not a bad result. just really glad i didn't screw something up and have to take stuff apart again which has definitely happened before
i figure that would have cost over $1k at the dealer since a lot of stuff has to come out to access the AC compressor, and i had to raise the engine slightly.
feeling pretty chuffed though after a test drive. this is gona make my summer suck a lot less driving to and from the property with AC

Boiling distilled water in my new borosilicate glass stove-to-fridge pitcher. Sometimes I live on the edge and do nasal lavage with distilled water STRAIGHT FROM THE GALLON JUG!!! But if I wanna be really anal like other people trying to stay on top of their bronchiectasis, I gotta boil it for 11 minutes first, because technically even bottled distilled water isn't sterile.
Bronchiectasis makes one vulnerable to infections of otherwise "friendly" bacteria in the air, soil, and water, so we're supposed to sterilize everything all the time. It's of course impossible to sterilize one's environment and I wonder how hard I should try. It's like acquired OCD. Trying to balance mental health with physical.
Anyway I got this pitcher you can boil water in on the stove, which is weird and fascinating and I keep imagining it shattering but so far so good.
@ninapaleyI don't know what they are called, but you just plug them in and they heat themselves, you keep it filled and it's always ready. Not sure it would do for sterilization though
We hope to see you Sunday afternoon on our monthly call. Want to learn about being a campaign treasurer?
