Well, if that is an athletic field they are illuminating (and it sure looks
like one), they are most probably NOT mercury vapor lights but metal
halides. The shape of the fixtures on the second photo is also a style used
by MH luminaires. Only a site inspection will tell, and it's a 160 mile RT
for me.

Subject: [AZ-Observing] still need that bulb ID
Fellow Stargazers: Got a lot of good feedback from forum members that I'll
be forwarding Monday to Ann Dunn, the lady in Buckeye with the light
pollution issue. I'll leave out the more "destructive" solutions for those
offensive bulbs, e.g., 22 caliber sky darkeners. :) I thank you all for
your input. But I still need a volunteer to go out there and do a positive
ID on those lights, which I strongly suspect are mercury vapor. Violation of
ARS 49-7, if true, would open several additional options for a remedy. Ann
says she'll provide soda and cookies for any volunteer. I'll wait for
responses through this weekend, but need to wrap this up next week. If
anybody can do this, email me off-list and I'll provide contact info and a
location map. Many thanks. -Dan Heim
