Local Community Champions Sustainable Street Lighting Initiatives

In Norfolk, Virginia, Mary Frances Bellman, a member of Citizens for Responsible Lighting, is advocating for the adoption of warmer LED street lights to reduce the negative health impacts associated with harsh outdoor lighting. Sharing her personal experience of disruptive brightness in her home, Bellman emphasizes the need for lighting solutions that promote human health and environmental safety. As Dominion Energy embarks on a large-scale project to replace 30,000 traditional street bulbs with LED lights, city officials, including Councilman Jeremy McGee, express optimism about finding a balanced approach that enhances visibility while safeguarding community well-being. Bellman has engaged with local civic organizations to raise awareness about the potential effects of lighting on sleep patterns and the environment, reinforcing the long-term commitment required for this initiative. Dominion Energy has acknowledged the community’s feedback and is working closely with the city to address these lighting concerns.
