DARK SKY
FRIENDLY LIGHTING
Effective outdoor lighting creates the right aesthetic while supporting safety and
commerce. Because excessive artificial light – known as light pollution – can have
environmental consequences, dark sky-friendly lighting was developed to minimize the
harmful effects of light pollution on humans, wildlife and our climate. Key tenets of
dark sky-friendly lighting include:
• Only light the area that needs it
• Be no brighter than necessary
• Minimize blue light emissions
• Be fully shielded (pointing downward)
