This section is included in your selections.

A. Shielding:

1. All outdoor light fixtures with light output greater than 2250 initial lumens shall be fully shielded. fixtures with light output ranges from 1125 to 2250 initial lumens shall be at least partially shielded.

2. Outdoor advertising signs constructed of translucent materials and wholly illuminated from within do not require shielding. It is recommended that existing mercury vapor fixtures either be replaced or be quipped with a filter whose transmission is less than ten (10) percent total emergent flux at wavelengths less than forty-four hundred (4400) angstroms. "Total emergent flux" is defined as that between three thousand (3000) and seven thousand (7000)-angstrom units.

B. Correlated Color Temperature (CCT): In order to minimize the detrimental effects of blue light, the correlated color temperature (CCT) of any outdoor lighting fixture shall not exceed 3000K.

C. Light Trespass: Outdoor lighting fixtures shall be sufficiently shielded and aimed such that spillage of light onto adjacent properties is minimized and glare from the light emitting and/or reflecting parts of a luminaire is not visible from any adjacent property.

D. Holiday Lighting Decorations: Temporary outdoor holiday lighting decorations are permitted for a reasonable period before a holiday and are not subject to the requirements in this section 8.02. Holiday lighting in residential neighborhoods shall be minimized after 11:00 p.m. and shall be removed within two weeks after the holiday.
