We have a mix of single bulb styles and two shades of white (warm white and bright white). No LED tube lights (than goodness). Some are lit all year. Our Design Committee is working on a ridge lighting guide so we have recommended design standards to provide to building owners. The hope is that new ridge light installations will have a consistent look – approximate bulb spacing, size and color. Ideally, the guide will include a list of contractors willing to install ridge lighting on historic buildings. We hope to find funding at some point to provide subsidy to encourage more ridge lighting.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>Snowflakes</b> - Our large 6-foot snowflakes have been switched over to LED bulbs and the smaller 4-foot snowflakes for our new streetscapes are all LED (warm white C7). First Avenue streetscape has imported steel snowflakes. For our 2017-18 streetscape poles, we had matching 4-foot aluminum snowflakes manufactured locally by Crystal Valley Decorating in Lebanon, Oregon. We worked with them somewhat directly, but as they are a wholesale manufacturer the purchase order went through <a href="http://www.dijuliodisplays.com/">De Julio Displays</a>. <a href="mailto:Rpruczinski@aol.com">Rita Rpruczinski</a> has been our rep and replacement bulb supplier for years.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>Community tree</b> - Until this year, we have been buying rolls of C-7 LED lights at places like Home Depot and Lowes for our big community tree. Some years it has been bright white (blueish), warm white or multi colors. A high percentage of light strings fail each year - sometimes after being stored and others while on the tree, disappointing. They were tiny LED lights with snap on covers to make them look like C7s. This year we are starting over with new commercial grade cords and screw in LED C7 bulbs purchased through De Julio Displays. These should last for multiple years like the lights do on the snowflakes. If individual bulbs fail, they can be replaced rather than throwing out 100 light strings.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>Street Tree Trunks </b>– Our Design Committee wraps 2-4 individual strings around the trunks of the street trees of 1<sup>st</sup> Avenue for many years. With the 2017-18 Streetscape project, we have something like 300 new street trees with power. I have purchased more brown cord LEDs in 2017 and again in 2018 in anticipation of expanding our lighting into part of the new area. These light are put up in fall and down in spring. Last year I purchased the lights online taking advantage of a discount code and free shipping. This year Rita was able to beat the online price so she got the order.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><img border=0 width=346 height=460 id="Picture_x0020_2" src="cid:image004.png@01D41DFF.8B731CB0"><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I hope this helps.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>Thank you,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>Lise Grato<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal>Executive Director<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Albany Downtown Association<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>126 SW Ferry Street<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Albany, OR 97321<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Email: director@albanydowntown.com<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Phone: (541) 928-2469<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Cell: (541) 905-2908<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> OMS_MANAGERS [mailto:oms_managers-bounces@listsmart.osl.state.or.us] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Sarah Lu Heath<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, June 28, 2018 5:22 PM<br><b>To:</b> Oregon Main Street program managers <oms_managers@listsmart.osl.state.or.us><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [OMS_MANAGERS] Holiday Lights on Buildings<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a name="_MailEndCompose">We’re curious what type of LED’s you’re getting, particularly if you’ve been able to find very long strands?<o:p></o:p></a></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>Sarah Lu Heath<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Executive Director<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Astoria Downtown Historic District Association<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>No.1-12<sup>th</sup> Street, Suite 114<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>PO Box 261 <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Astoria, OR 97103<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>503.791.7940<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.astoriadowntown.com/"><span style='color:#0563C1'>www.AstoriaDowntown.com</span></a><o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> OMS_MANAGERS [<a href="mailto:oms_managers-bounces@listsmart.osl.state.or.us">mailto:oms_managers-bounces@listsmart.osl.state.or.us</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>W Darin Rutledge, Executive Director<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, June 28, 2018 11:58 AM<br><b>To:</b> Oregon Main Street program managers <<a href="mailto:oms_managers@listsmart.osl.state.or.us">oms_managers@listsmart.osl.state.or.us</a>><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [OMS_MANAGERS] Holiday Lights on Buildings<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We are going with new LED lights this season for that exact reason.
