Considerate Partying Reminders
Good Outdoor Lighting
• Shine light down to where it’s needed, not up or sideways.
• Don’t overlight—use lighting levels that are appropriate
for the situation.
• Turn off lights when they’re not needed or use motion sensors.
• Reduce the number of parking lot lights that are illuminated
after hours.
• Use energy-efficient lights and fixtures (a 25-watt focused light
can often do the same job as a 100-watt unfocused light).
