Or, are you saying these do NOT fall under the auspices of the rules and regulation ? I've used Pike's, they were the original electrical contractor when we built and always knew what needed approval. Please be a little more clear on your answer to we are not led astray. Again, NOT tying to be confrontational at all, just wanted to know clearly the Villages stand on having pre-approval.
I think you are right. The lights look great, from an architectural viewpoint, but I live in a courtyard villa in a lovely neighborhood where the outside lighting is mostly just the pole lamps in the front yard. I would NOT want my neighbors installing lighting like this where it could shine in my windows. I have neighbors about fifty feet away who have a small motion-activated security light in their back yard that comes on now and then, but it only stays on for a few seconds. As it is, we have so much light pollution that we can hardly see any stars. When was the last night when you could see the Milky Way?
