BENEFITS OF THE NEW LIGHTING STANDARDS

Lighting that gives just enough brightness for safety and is used only when it’s needed is best for being able to see well and enjoy dark and restful nights.

Ways the code can benefit you: 

  • Lower Electric Bills
  • Maintain the rural quality of Grand County
  • Health benefits and improved sleep
  • Reduction of “sky glow”
  • Views of the stars, planets, and Milky Way right from your home

Get to know your neighbors and enjoy the night skies. Be neighbor friendly and avoid light overflow that falls beyond your property boundary and onto a neighbor’s property or home. Together we can reduce overlighting and over-lit areas while maintaining safety for all!
