Small changes have a big impact!

Protecting the night starts with five simple steps:

🌟 Use light only if it is needed—All light should have a clear purpose. Consider how the use of light will impact
the area, including wildlife and their habitats.

🌟 Direct light so it falls only where it is needed—Use shielding and careful aiming to target the direction of the light beam
so that it points downward and does not spill beyond where it is needed.

🌟 Light should be no brighter than necessary—Use the lowest light level required. Be mindful of surface conditions, as some
surfaces may reflect more light into the night sky than intended.

🌟 Use light only when it is needed—Use controls such as timers or motion detectors to ensure that light is available
when it is needed, dimmed when possible, and turned off when not needed.

🌟 Use warmer color lights where possible—Limit the amount of shorter wavelength (blue-violet) light to the least
amount needed.

When entire communities act together, the impact is exponential, bringing back the stars, protecting wildlife, and reducing waste. 🌍💙
