Hi Glen,

Ken in fact is president of the Sydney Outdoor Lighting Improvement Society (SOLIS), has been lobbying
hard over the years
and has a deep appreciation of the various technical measures that can be taken to minimize light pollution
including well designed fixtures with cut-offs.

The amateur astronomy community is highly appreciative of his efforts.

Best regards

Gary
