    Make sure bulbs are warm white - 2700K

    Do you know what gives us a warm fuzzy feeling? Outdoor lights in the color temperature 2700 kelvin and below. This soft white or amber light is the best option for reducing light pollution and is better for you and wildlife at night. Bright white lights aimed outwards produce glare that decreases visibility and produces dark shadows where obstacles can hide. Bright lights also ruin our eye's natural ability to adapt to ambient conditions, which makes transitions between differently lit areas more dangerous. Night-sky friendly designs are safer by providing more even illumination and by eliminating glare. So, don't get the blues. Choose bulbs with features that can give you the warm glow of a night sky protector!
