this classic
wall
lantern from the folks at
Sea Gull
Lighting. Shown here is the
SGL-8458DB-71. I know what you're thinking already. This isn't night
sky friendly... this isn't neighbor friendly. Ah, but it is. True, the
fixture looks very much like your typical brass and glass light bomb.
But, and this is the important part, it hides the bulb inside an
interior
light shade.. Just a little ingenuity and you've turned a bad light
into a stellar performer. As is typical of the outdoor lights offered by
Starry Night Lights, you can't see the light bulb thereby eliminating up
lighting and light trespass, two of the prime manifestations of
light pollution.You can find this clever, night sky friendly wall lantern at your favorite outdoor lighting store, Starry Night Lights! Checkout all our Featured Outdoor Lighting Products!

Preserving The Rural Mountain Environment
-
That was the goal of county leaders 10 years
ago when they enacted outdoor lighting
ordinances. Why are there so fewer stars in
the night sky now?
Dark Skies Are Green - With all the interest in green building these days, its odd to me that many people don't realize that night sky friendly outdoor lighting is a very green building technology. Bright Lights Come To Pinebrook - When most people think of light pollution, they think of big cities and mile upon glaring mile of bright, glaring lights. They certainly don't have images of Pinebrook in their mind's eye.
What's Your Excuse? - It seems there
are as many reasons for contributing to
light pollution as there are light
polluters. Every light polluter has a
"special" reason why what they're doing is
"ok" or at least should be overlooked. |
6 Reasons Why You Need To Help Me Fight
Light Pollution - Light pollution is
a wasteful habit that provides nothing
positive to society all while it threatens
us on a number of very fundamental levels.
An Explosion of Light - It happened so slowly that we didn’t really even notice it. It’s been a part of our lives for so long that we’ve taken it for granted. Little by little, light by light, we have virtually eliminated the night from large portions of the globe. Find out how improper nighttime lighting is robbing us of star-filled skies...
Why Does The Sky Glow At Night? -
Have you ever noticed that the night sky
is no longer inky black and full of
stars like it used to be? Have you
noticed the strange orangish glow that's
replaced it? The strange orangy glow is
a form of light pollution referred to as
sky glow. Good Neighbor Outdoor Lighting - Its amazing how common un-neighborly lighting has become, especially considering how easy its become to get neighbor friendly lights for your home or business. What Exactly Is Good Neighbor Lighting - Good neighbor lighting is simply outdoor lighting that is respectful of the rights and privacy of ones neighbors. |
