Lighting dispute over Mazda lamps in Frederick business district
Residents debate whether new nitrogen filled Mazda lamps deliver less light than older AB and arc lights. Critics say 500 candlepower units with 600 watt consumption fail to match earlier 1,200 candlepower AB lamps and 1,000 candlepower claims, noting higher maintenance costs and higher mounting.
