Hi there are 3 things that make light fixtures Night Sky safe
1. The light does not go sideways or up only down
2. The light color does not affect viewing stars.
3. Not too bright so your eyes can adjust as you walk or drive
near them.
And they use less power so use less coal, gas etc
The light fixtures make for being a good neighbor. I have seen many lights that trespass into windows, are a traffic hazard and waste lots of power. You can help by using Night safe lighting.

I think that night safe lighting is a fantastic idea. And so, apparently, do the folks at Kirtland. What was it I heard? Now I can't remember -- is it that dark skies are better for night flight training, or that they make ABQ harder to hit with a missle?

Anyone who is of a mind to um fire a missle knows were Abq is that's not why. More like so stars can be seen with backyard telescopes.
