Save Our Dark Skys with Minka Lavery Outdoor Lights
Sometimes outdoor lights can emit too much light or give light in unwanted areas. This concept is known as light pollution. This can make it much harder for amateur (and professional) astronomers to study the stars at night, with all of the light in the air. Urban areas are hit hardest by light pollution, but rural areas can be affected by this too. Nocturnal animals such as moths can also be negatively affected by night time light. Organizations such as the International Dark-Sky Association exist to help fight this. Light fixtures that are engineered to Dark Sky specs prevent light from emitting into the skies at night, to help ensure a dark sky.
