Citizen complaint of the day: Synchronized light show at Chester Park is wicked annoying
By adamg on Sun, 01/14/2024 - 11:15pm
Imagine all these lights blinking on and off over and over and over.
A concerned citizen files a 311 report about the blinking lights along Chester Park on Massachusetts Avenue:
Now every streetlight along the odd side of Mass Ave in the 550 block is blinking. Dozens of times a minute - all of them - the whole block. It was the even side before, now it is the odd side.
Somebody reported a similar phenomenon there on Dec. 21. The city marked that complaint "resolved" on Dec. 27.

Let the light in
Curious if the snow is screwing up the sensors...
Let's take a minute
To recognize how awful those acorn light fixtures are. When converting to LEDs, the city had an opportunity to select a dark sky friendly, full cutoff light fixture that directed light down, not up. Instead, they went with this crap luminaire.

Not intentional?
Sounds like a power glitch set this off. I have a set of LED lights in a pre-LED bath fixture that will do this after a brownout if I don't reset them (turn off ... wait ... turn on).
