A friend asked me if I had a good resource to all of the local lighting codes and ordinances for the San Diego area. Yes, I do - the Palomar Observatory light pollution page.
About half-way down the page you will find a listing of links to lighting codes and ordinance for San Diego and portions of Riverside Counties.
The only exception I would provide for this list is the link to San Diego County’s Light Pollution Ordinance. Due to the method at which the information is delivered by the county and the way Palomar chose to reference the link, you will have to hunt for the information.
GE Lighting has a nice feature on their website, gelighting.com, that provides a good method of comparison for source color temperature. The color booth website (click here) provides various images that can be viewed side-by-side, and display scenes lighted with different color temperature sources.
Keep in mind when viewing these images, the actual color that would be perceived by the eye is very difficult to capture with a camera. Additionally, the color settings of the monitor or printer used to view these images may not be calibrated. The comparison method should be used to get an idea of differences between sources, not to actually measure how well a source may render a particular color.
