Gentlemen:
Here are some details on the fixture we are proposing for the town. Some general notes:
The Windsor 30 scales to poles up to 14’ high. If we use higher poles, I’d suggest using the larger Windsor 40. - Yes, we will
be using the 14-foot high poles.
We will use 3000K LEDs for a “warm” light. – So far, the only concern we have heard with the Town Commission regarding
LEDs is that it is not as “warm” as high pressure sodium lights. I am recommending LEDs because of the costs and, for crime
prevention, they show a truer color than HPS (or so I’ve been told).
The pole and base are suggested. The fluted pole can be used with any number of Beacon’s base designs, which are
outlined in the catalogs I left with Marty and Bill Thrasher, the town manager. The pole and base look great. The Town likes
to use quality materials if they know they will last.
Actual LED output and pole heights will be determined based upon the lighting plan we create. Please advise the desired
pole height and we will do our best to accommodate. 14’ is the desired height for the poles, unless you want to recognize a
different height for A1A.
Our understanding is, the town does not want a “uniform” lighting look. Currently, there are 85 FPL cobra light
poles/fixtures within the City. The City is looking to replace just those locations – so yes, there would be some areas with
more lights than others. Also, Town Hall and the Police Station would have double lights per pole.
If amber LEDs are required in any specific areas due to sea turtle concerns, we will furnish. – I will let you know if that is
desired.
