The loss of dark sky is a trend
linked to development.
• Is it a significant issue?
• Is it inevitable, or are there
workable solutions?
• How committed do we
have to be?
Page 50 of 59
Is the loss of dark sky really an issue?
• Dark skies are more natural and have benefits for wildlife, human health, and energy use.
• Dark skies are a safety issue, but more lighting is not inherently more safe – the issues are
focused light at the right intensity and in the right place, and reduced glare. High light and
dark shadows are less safe than focused light at lower overall intensity.
Page 51 of 59
Two examples of shielded vs. unshielded light fixtures.
Efficiently managing lights gives superior results compared to wasting light.
Are there workable solutions to preserve the dark sky?
• An estimated 30% of lighting is wasted.
• The dark sky approach is to manage light waste, light pollution, and light trespass.
• Dark sky does not mean dark ground.
Page 52 of 59
Five general principles guide the dark sky approach
Page 53 of 59
How committed to dark sky do we have to be?
• Lakeway is already fairly strict regarding light trespass and light pollution.
• We can make significant progress just by minimizing waste.
• There is such a thing as an illumination engineer. None of them work for Lakeway.
