Boost the night sky
Imagine a night sky filled with constellations, the Milky Way, and planets glowing brilliantly - a breathtaking sight that is often obscured by light pollution. At Luxega, we’re proud to offer some of our products as Dark Sky Certified LED lighting, a groundbreaking solution that helps restore the beauty of the natural night sky while delivering efficient and effective outdoor illumination.
The Problem with Light Pollution
Light pollution, caused by poorly designed outdoor lighting, leads to wasted energy, glare, skyglow, and light trespass. This not only obscures our view of the stars but also disrupts wildlife, impacts ecosystems, and contributes to climate change. It’s a problem that affects us all, and Luxega is committed to being part of the solution.
What is Dark Sky Certified Lighting?
Dark Sky Certified lighting adheres to rigorous standards set by the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA). It uses advanced, highly complex lenses to minimize light pollution by directing light precisely where it’s needed. This ensures outdoor spaces are well-lit for safety and functionality without spilling unnecessary light into the sky or neighboring areas.

Understanding Dark Sky Approved Lighting
Dark Sky Approved lighting is designed to minimize light pollution and preserve the natural beauty of the night sky. The illustration demonstrates how poorly designed lighting spills light in all directions, causing glare, skyglow, and light trespass. These effects obscure the stars, disrupt wildlife, and waste energy.
With Dark Sky Approved fixtures, light is precisely directed downward where it is needed, eliminating unnecessary upward or outward light. This not only enhances visibility and safety but also reduces energy consumption and protects ecosystems.
Dark Sky Approved lighting meets strict standards for shielding and brightness, ensuring that outdoor spaces are well-lit without harming the environment. By adopting these solutions, municipalities and contractors can contribute to a more sustainable future while restoring the ability to enjoy clear, star-filled skies.
