I was just thinking. If this Credit allows us to exclude adversiment lighting and theme park lighting why is it so difficult to exclude flag lighting. It just sends such a bad message.

The Micky-D's sign can glow all night without concern but a couple flood lights on the flag is.

Or the castle in the Magic Kingdom can have flood lights but not the flag.

It's just my suggestion to USGBC to reconsider this. Make some people happy. Add an exclusion for flag lighting. If it still bothers you then as a compromise have a max lumen allowance per flag pole. Just an idea.
