[MassHistPres] Roadway Lighting East Princeton Village

[Joyce Anderson]

> 
> Dear Members of Masshistpress:
> East Princeton Village, located on busy Route 140, is on the National Register. Originally in 1903 there were 25 Boston style street lights placed along the roadway but have since been lost to time. A recommendation has been made by the Princeton Light Department to replace the remaining overhead roadway lighting fixtures along Main St (Route 140).
> The recommendation made by the Princeton Light Dept. includes the following criteria: "The fixture needs to be mounted on an arm that gets mounted on the utility pole. It is a 70-100 HID light fixture. The lights are usually described as “street or roadway lighting”.  We usually install a GE Lighting system fixture catalog number: SAM07S1N54LV5SLC
>> The most important specs are:
>> Voltage:               120 volts
>> Lamp wattage:  70 watt
>> Ballast:                  HPS
>> Low cutoff angle"
> Can anyone make a suggestion for street lighting that would involve either all or some of the above criteria but still retain the integrity of the village? If this requirement cannot be met, do you have any suggestions for lighting in East Princeton Village?
> Thank you in advance.
> Joyce Anderson, Princeton Historical Commission
