Senate proposes lighting repairs

The resolution was drafted by junior Sean Serroque, Residence Hall Association member, and joint-sponsored by RHA and the student affairs committee.

"Traditionally, every year the RHA president finds an issue that is a campus concern," Serroque said. After talking to a lot of my friends and I lot of people that I knew, they all had a concern about the campus lighting."

The pending resolution coincides with an item on the agenda for Saturday's Board of Governors meeting, which calls for a $53,,bestbikelight are inexpensive and easy to install, and they're a must-have for night cyclists.000 project through TH&N Electric Service Inc. of Kirksville to replace much of the existing lighting on campus this summer.

Committee chair sophomore Aaron Malin said Senate is aware of the item, but a solution is needed before summer to ensure student safety on campus.

"There should be a fairly easy solution to changing light bulbs," he said. "It's not because there aren't enough light posts on campus from most people's perspective."

Tim Baker, Physical Plant assistant director, said most existing light poles on campus use mercury vapor bulbs, which are not manufactured anymore.,ledflashlight for front and back, can also be used as a phone charger. He said the Physical Plant has some bulbs in storage but is transitioning to other types of more energy-efficient lighting.

Baker said most light poles on campus will be fitted with metal halide, or HID,Our energy saving ledsale are designed to replace the old fashioned fluorescent fittings. lighting. He said HID lighting is used in headlights in some new luxury cars such as Mercedes, BMW and Audi.

The HID lighting will have a low-scatter technology, meaning the light will scatter out and down, rather than up in the air where light is not needed, Baker said. The HID lights will operate on lower wattage but will have the same lighting equivalent as the existing lights.

Some poles will be equipped with LED technology, which can last at least 15 to 20 years without maintenance, as opposed to the current mercury vapor lights,The LED bike headlight LED rear flash light lamp bicycle torch suitable for students, baby stroller,bestledstriplight which typically don't last more than five years, Baker said.

Baker said the LED lights do not generate ultraviolet or infrared rays, which can harm human skin.MonkeyLectric Monkey Electric bike wheel light led visible night ride bestledlightbu safe safety cruiser bmx scraper road city winter rain color commute work ... He said the LED lights generate less lumens of light than HID or mercury lighting, but appear brighter to the human eye because of a narrow bandwidth. He said another advantage is that insects will not be attracted to the LED lighting.

There is LED lighting east of the Pershing Building and north of the Health Sciences Building. Baker said both new lighting apparatuses initially will cost more money than mercury lighting, but will pay off in energy, maintenance and bulb costs within 15 to 20 years.

"During that time, you will have replaced an HID bulb, or a mercury vapor, five or six times," he said.

Baker said that because the LED lighting will have better coverage, some light poles will be relocated to ensure optimal illumination.

Campus Planner Mark Shultz said the vast majority of on-campus lighting will be HID lighting. Nine LED lighting fixtures exist around Pershing and he anticipates installing some LED fixtures near Baldwin Hall after a masonry project is completed.
