KC Moves Forward with Lower-Kelvin LED Streetlights

Kansas City, MO is moving forward with lower-Kelvin LED streetlights than originally planned.  These emit less blue light than those with higher Kelvins.  Lowering Kelvins mitigates harmful environmental impacts caused by high-intensity, broad-spectrum “artificial light at night." Sierra Club, Kansas City Environmental Management Commission, Dark Sky Missouri, Burroughs Audubon Society and others worked together over the past 16 months to influence this decision.  Thanks especially to Dee McCreary for her tireless leadership and work on this!
