Let's start things off with the original dark sky friendly outdoor light...  The Glare Buster GB-1000 is the original dark sky friendly outdoor light for homeowners & small businesses alike. Introduced in 2001, the branded name GlareBuster has become known for the fixture's patented design, virtually fool-proof dark sky performance, versatility and quality. It is the ONLY full cutoff floodlight fixture available for this market, and it offers real area coverage (w/o glare or uplight). Most 'dark sky' offerings have very limited light distribution on the ground.
 

Let's move to a beautiful dark sky friendly outdoor light by The Justice Design Group. Hand made of ceramic, this fixture has a dark sky friendly closed top. This ensures that no light will shine wastefully into the night sky. This will help to ensure that the current & future generations will continue to be able to see stars in the night sky. Also note that you can't see the light bulb. It's hidden within the structure of the fixture. This prevents light from shining thoughtlessly across property lines. Light trespass is a growing problem in communities all around the world. Its your choice to be part of the problem or the solution.
 

This beautiful dark sky friendly outdoor light fixture by SPJ Lighting is made of stainless steel. It's contemporary design will compliment any home or business. As you'd expect, it comes with a dark sky friendly closed top to ensure that light goes where its needed... and no where else. Exterior light fixtures should allow you to move about safely at night while complimenting the look of your home or business. Exterior light fixtures should never shine light wastefully into the night sky... or carelessly into a neighbors window. Be sure to choose only quality sky friendly exterior lights for all your lighting needs.
 

This beautiful dark sky friendly otdoor home light by The Justice Design Group displays the characteristics desired of good, outdoor home lighting. First off, the bulb is not visible.. it is installed up inside the fixture... protected by the large, flared top. This keeps light pollution and light trespass to an absolute minimum. As a general rule, if you can see the light source from a top or side view, light is shining in the wrong direction.
 

This beautiful dark sky friendly outdoor light by The Justice Design Group displays the same desirable characteristics as the lights above it. The light source is not visible from either the top or side... indicating that this fixture will illuminate the ground beneath it and very little more. This is ideal. If all light fixtures were designed with this in mind, there would be far less light pollution and glare. This would have the benefit of allowing more folks to see stars in the sky at night.. and make it easier for us to drive at night as there would be less dangerous glare to contend with. This fixture is shown in a hand-carved and hand-painted textured brass finish. Pretty sweet, huh?

Let's continue with another beautiful dark sky friendly outdoor light fixture, again hand made by The Justice Design Group. This fixture is by its very design closed on top. This ensures that no light will shine wastefully into the night sky. This will help to ensure that the current & future generations will continue to be able to see stars in the night sky. Also note that you can't see the light bulb. It's hidden within the structure of the fixture. This prevents light from shining thoughtlessly across property lines. Light trespass is attracting the attention of many zoning boards. Choose from over 40 finish options, including kiln-fired glazes, hand-painted and hand-hammered faux metals, or hand-carved and hand-painted textured faux stone.
