Please clarify/update. RESPONSE: Deleted WW4 from luminaire schedule. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 05/15/2017 05/15/2017: In regard to lighting, especially LED light fixtures, cooler color temperatures are harsher at night and cause more disruption to circadian (biological) rhythms for both humans and wildlife. Warmer color temperature (warm white, 3000K or less) for any LED light fixtures is preferred. Thank you for selecting a 3000K light fixture for your parking lot fixtures. According to the manufacturer cut sheets, warmer versions of light fixtures WW1, WW2, WW3 and C are also available. Staff recommends selecting the 3000K or 2700K versions of these fixtures to minimize impacts to adjacent properties, drivers passing the site, and residents/wildlife in the vicinity. RESPONSE: Revised fixtures to 3000K.
