Limit Lighting
All single outdoor bulbs (or collection of connected bulbs such as string lights) emit no more than 1,000 lumens (lm) each (not to exceed 5,000 lumens total on the property).All outdoor lights use automatic lighting controls such as motion sensors or a smart timer/dimmer switch/plug so that they are only used as much as and only when they are needed.

THE GALACTIC COMMITMENT: With the exception of motion activated lights, all outdoor lights on the property are extinguished no later than 2 hours after sunset until 1 hour before sunrise.

Use Shielding
All outdoor lights (with the exception of string lights which need to be dimmed to 30% or less of their original lumen output and extinguished 2 hours after sunset until 1 hour before sunrise) are fully shielded so that all the light points down to the ground.

Make it Safe for Wildlife
All outdoor lights have a Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) of 3000K or less.

Keep it Close
No direct outdoor light extends beyond your property lines.

Please submit pictures of all your outdoor lights as well as one or more pictures of your property at night with all the outdoor lights on.
