Dark Sky Wall Lights

What is a Dark Sky Compliant Wall Light?

Light pollution is increasingly associated with health and sleep problems, so our dark sky outdoor wall lights have been designed specifically to keep excess glare from bleeding into the nighttime sky above. To accomplish this, a properly designed dark sky compliant wall light will do one or more of the following:

1. It should be fully shielded, meaning the light is pointing downward and the bulb is not directly visible.
2. It should be turned on only when necessary. Motion sensor designs minimize the amount of time the light is on.
3. It should not be brighter than necessary and should avoid producing excessive blue wavelengths, the type of light that naturally occurs during daylight hours.
