[MassHistPres] Roadway Lighting East Princeton Village

[Cindy Brockway]

The town of Dublin NH worked with Kevin Gagne at Fay, Spofford and Thorndike
and did a great job with having to create a historic looking fixture that
matched old road fixtures yet met very strict dark sky standards.  His
contact information is:

Kevin Gagne

Fay, Spofford & Thorndike 
288 S. River Road, Building C 
Bedford, NH 03110 
W: (603) 669-2000 X237 
F: (603) 668-2670 
E: kgagne at fstinc.com

Also, the town of Lexington has really good period street lights.  They used
Spring Hill Lighting and they created a replica of an old Lexington light.

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
