New Cromarty lights transform lighting and skyglow
Recently the Highland Council replaced the old 1980s globe lights on Cromarty's Marine Terrace with new asymmetric light fittings. The transformation at night has been nothing short of amazing. The globes tended to waste most of their light upwards, with the road and paving below gloomy and fuzzy in the glow. The new lights now light up the road and pavement 'like daytime' as one local resident told me, and there is now extremely little overspill of light into gardens, houses or the beach. Skyglow is almost entirely gone, and when the last few 1970s and 1980s fittings go, then the transformation will be complete.
Fantastic job Highland Council.
