A couple of thoughts:
1. This town mentioned in most repeats of this story saves $100 per month per intersection by using these lights.
2. The town also saves money because the lights have to be replaced much less often.
3. This is the first time in the six years these lights have been in use that this has presented a problem.
4. This wasn't a "ZOMG GUBMINT COMMIE MANDATE"--it was a city that saw real savings potential--savings that have so far added up to $7,200 per intersection over the last six years in electricity alone. There are several easy fixes for this (as simple as a plastic cover over the fixture, as somebody mentioned here.)
