From San Pedro Scoop...
When my neighbor sent me this information, it seemed too good to be true. Anyone can put in an order for a street light. Or three. This can be ordered by a resort or an individual (or an organized neighborhood group.)

BEL will install the light and the electricity will be billed to you.

Here is the basic information: "BEL installs an LED light on the post you identify by the number (on a metal plate on each pole) and you pay only for the power consumption, roughly calculated for me at BZ$21 a month. "

He submitted his work order last month - and BEL suggests that you get in orders as soon as possible. So they can do a bulk order.

Makes me want to scream!! (And not in a good way!)

The stars at night are slowly disappearing as the island develops but at the same time I want a light on the street at by business location and home. These lights are modern and point down with little illumination skyward.

At this point it's all about safety. Driving at night with only dim lighting from golf carts is risky - people need to see where they are going and those little headlights don't help much at all.
