Residents and businesses are encouraged to turn off lights from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. during these months to reduce light pollution as birds make their way through migration routes.
Additionally, community members can:
- Use light only when and where needed.
- Aim lights downward.
- Minimize blue light emissions.
- Use energy efficient lighting.
- Use timers, dimmers and motion sensors.
- Use warm LED bulbs under a 3,000 Kelvin rating.
- Draw blinds to reduce light spill.
