2. Switch to smart lighting
Turn off unnecessary lights, use fully shielded fixtures, add motion sensors and timers, switch to warm color temperature lights (less than 2200K).
3. Advocate in your community
Your neighbors, municipalities, and local businesses need to hear from you about the importance of dark skies and smart lighting.
1. Sign up for lights-out alerts
We will email and/or text you when heavy bird migration is predicted and turning off the lights is ESPECIALLY important.
