Recently much has been written or presented on the topic of "Artificial Sky Glow" (also known as "Light Pollution"). PSE&G believes that the goals of outdoor lighting regulations should be to promote lighting design practices that are consistent with energy conservation, safety needs and the preservation of the natural night environment.
PSE&G offers a full range of decorative, commercial and safety lighting products designed to meet multiple design goals - including the preservation of the night environment, performance, aesthetics, safety and energy efficiency. If minimizing artificial sky glow is a primary goal, we have product selections that can help you achieve it.
