In plain language

The bill sets standards for outdoor lighting to reduce brightness and improve color temperature.

This legislation amends the Responsible Outdoor Lighting Control Act to require new outdoor lights to have a correlated color temperature of 2,700 Kelvin or lower. It also establishes guidelines for uplighting used for statuary and historical facade lighting.

Summary

Amends the Responsible Outdoor Lighting Control Act. Provides that all new luminaires purchased or installed after June 30, 2032, must have a correlated color temperature less than or equal to 2,700 Kelvin. Provides that the act does not apply if it is necessary to use uplighting for statuary lighting and historical façade lighting. In cases where uplighting is the only viable solution for these items, the lighting should have a color corrected temperature of no more than 2,700 degrees Kelvin, must be minimized to no more than 25% above ANSI/IES standards, must exceed an illuminance of one lux as measured at ground level both horizontally and vertically at the property boundary, and must be extinguished every night no later than 12:00 a.m. Provides that, after January 1, 2027, any new placement or replacement of uplighting of State historic statuary and State historical façade lighting shall be approved by the State Historic Preservation Office.
