Council notes mixed results from new solar lights at pickleball court
Summary
Council members discussed new solar lights at the pickleball court and reported mixed performance; one member said the lights were disappointing at night while others said they saved energy by activating only when motion was detected.
Council members reviewed the performance of recently installed solar lights at the town pickleball court. A speaker said the lights appeared to respond to motion inconsistently and that initial night checks were disappointing: "I was disappointed with them," the speaker said. Another member noted the fixtures detect motion and sometimes brighten when people are near, which reduces wasted energy when the court is unused.
The discussion was brief and did not result in formal action; staff and council noted the tradeoffs between energy savings and performance and will continue to monitor the fixtures.
