Well I can report that they do not switch it off at 9pm. They switched the bloomin thing off BEFORE 9pm. I was wondering why we couldn't see it from on Haslingden Rd. Then we went right up to it and the flippin thing was all in darkness!

Funny story!!!!!

The automatic timer is set for four hours. So, should come on at dusk and then go off again at around 11.30ish.

On the night of the launch, we needed to manually start it so that it came on in time with the music - quite impressive it was too.

What no one knew at the time, was that putting it on to manual reset the timer to the default two hours!!!! I hasten to add that it was the lighting contractors themselves who did this and nothing to do with me or the team.

Anyway, the upshot of it is that it is currently on for a couple of hours each night but as soon as the lighting contractors get back on site they will reset it.

Doh!!!!

If it's run by its own generator and batteries why isn't it on all hours of darkness, not costing anything is it and it aint shining through anyones windows up there

Because one of the conditions of the planning application acceptance was that it wouldn't be on all night so that local people wouldn't be complaining that it was on all night.

OK, now I know

Shame that because it would be most effective in the middle of the night and I can't really see how it could bug people from up there. It's not like a massive floodlight or something is it? Will you know when the timer gets fixed Gayle?

Well it should have been done this week so I'm not really sure what's happening at the moment. I'll try to find out.

Best bet for the time being is to go up about 7.30/8 ish.

Jen, if there's any chance you could get a clearer idea of when it's being turned off for me that would be great. Thanks.

It's a no brainer Jen, flit a.s.a.p., It remindes me of an inverted Minaret. There may be a hidden agenda
