tl;dr: Dark-sky lighting reduces light pollution by fully shielding fixtures to direct light downward, using amber colors (instead of blue-rich white LEDs) at lower brightness levels, and employing timers or motion sensors. Proponents argue it improves safety (less glare), health (preserves circadian rhythms), and wildlife protection while restoring visibility of the night sky—citing Flagstaff, AZ as a successful example. The article urges readers to pressure local officials to adopt amber LEDs rather than the white LED streetlights currently replacing older lighting.
