Are you looking to improve the night time sky?
Tired of having that streetlight glare into your second story window? The City of
Ames Electric Services can help by making available to those that request it, the Hubbell
Skycap.
Installed at no cost on neighborhood streetlights, alley lights or security lights, the Hubbell Skycap redirects sideward and upward light down to the street and sidewalk where it is needed. This redirected light reduces the amount of light that illuminates tree tops, rooftops and the light sent directly into the night sky.
If you would like to request the installation of a skycap, please call Electric Services at 515-239-5206, or you can print a skycap application form. Drop the form off at the Utility Customer Service office at 515 Clark Street, Ames, Iowa, or mail it to Hubbell Skycap, P.O. Box 811, Ames, Iowa, 50010.
