We are excited to be now be a member of the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA). It may seem counter-intuitive, but we really do believe in responsible lighting.

San Antonio was hit with several hail storms over the last few weeks and the damage is the costliest in Texas history at expected damages of $1.4 Billion.  The big ticket items are damages to cars and roofs but the lighting from those storms have wreaked havoc on some homeowners electrical systems.  Outdoor landscape lighting is vulnerable to lightning just like all other electric systems.
