We are at a critical time and your voice matters!
Dominion Energy is only offering 2 LED options: 3000K and 4000K. Both emit unhealthy blue light for our neighborhoods and wildlife.
We propose the following:
2700K or lower for neighborhoods
2200K or lower for wetlands and wildlife areas
Zero Uplighting & Adaptive Controls to dim lights or turn off when possible
