DRAC finds LED fixtures at 199 West Street too bright; requests compliant proposal
Summary
Design Review Advisory Committee determined LED spot and gable lighting at 199 West Street (REEHA LLC) causes light spillage and does not conform with Litchfield zoning; the owner (or electrician) was asked to provide a revised, downlighting-compliant plan at the June 4 meeting.
The Design Review Advisory Committee reviewed exterior lighting installed at 199 West Street for REEHA LLC and found the LED fixtures too bright and noncompliant with Litchfield zoning. Committee members noted that the shaded gable spotlights need lower, softer-wattage bulbs and that all exterior fixtures should be downlighting to prevent spillover onto neighboring properties.
The meeting minutes indicate the committee asked that either Mohammed Rahman or his electrician be scheduled for the June 4 meeting to present a revised, compliant lighting proposal. No vote was taken; the item was continued to give the owner time to submit corrected fixtures or specifications.
The committee cited Litchfield zoning requirements for downlighting and urged the applicant to provide wattage and fixture details at the next meeting.
