Other locations on the Wave Basin have four heads. To provide an accurate representation of what a four head ﬁxture would look like, we ran all four, even though that is not what would happen at the subject pole locations. Then, we ran them at two, which is what the actual operating conditions would be at those locations. The lights were not dimmed and were 100% in both locations whether it was two or four heads. Most importantly, there was zero light overspill on Coral Mountain or the residence closest to the south location, which represents a very conservative condition. The reason we picked the two locations: the spot on the north would be the closest ﬁxture to Coral Mountain and thus was the logical candidate to test for overspill. The spot on the south was the closest to a residence offsite. In summary, we went over and above by illuminating four heads in both those locations as part of the test, even though in reality there would be only two heads there. The light vendor collected a lot of data with light meters, evidencing no light overspill beyond a very short distance from the ﬁxture. And to underscore, on either Coral Mountain or the offsite residence. Hope that helps.

When she told him to turn them all on, he did. She also said this was about 7:45 p.m. and didn’t know how long the lights might have been at 50%. I want to pass along, in case you want to comment further.

At the house on the south end there is a bright wall- mounted ﬂoodlamp...that could be the third light you saw...it is visible from Madison Street. Regarding the illumination, the lights were operated at 100% of their output with no dimming, just as they would be in actual operations.

I have 2 things I’m hoping you can help clarify from last night’s demo. 1. Were there 2 or 3 lights? Because I saw 2 at the southeast end from Avenue 60 and I want to be sure they were yours, though they both went off at 8 when the other light was also turned off. 2. I kept hearing that the lights were pugng out about half the illumina;on/power they would normally. Is that correct? And why would that be? If you can respond soon, I would appreciate it. Thank you.
