What is Dark Sky Lighting
Dark sky lighting refers to a lighting design approach specifically aimed at minimizing light pollution and preserving the natural darkness of the night sky. It involves the use of outdoor lighting fixtures and practices that are engineered to direct light downward, thereby reducing the amount of upward light that contributes to light pollution. It minimizes the negative impacts of artificial lighting on the environment, wildlife, and human health. By using proper shielding, color temperature, and brightness levels, dark sky lighting helps to preserve the natural night environment and maintain the beauty of dark skies.

Dark sky lighting is particularly important because light pollution can have detrimental effects. It can disrupt ecosystems, interfere with wildlife behavior and migration patterns, and even affect human health and well-being. By adhering to dark sky lighting principles, such as shielding lights to prevent upward light emission and using lighting only when necessary, the negative effects of light pollution can be significantly reduced.
