affecting nature, recreational viewing, and astronomical observations. Fully shielded fixtures are
required as described in Section 5.1.
2. Metal Halide lighting, used primarily for display purposes, shall not be used for security lighting
after 11:00 PM or after closing hours if before 11:00 PM, local time. Fully shielded fixtures are
required as described in Section 5.1.
3. Outdoor advertising signs of the type constructed of translucent materials and wholly illuminated
from within, do not require shielding. Dark backgrounds with light lettering or symbols are preferred,

lamp wattage per property shall be less than 41 watts.
4. For the purposes of this Code, quartz lamps shall not be considered an incandescent light source.
5. Warm white and natural lamps are preferred to minimize detrimental effects.
6. A mixture of fully shielded Low Pressure Sodium and Metal Halide fixtures shall be allowed
for applications where the designing engineer deems that color rendering is critical.
7. Fully shielded and installed metal halide fixtures shall be allowed for applications where the
designing engineer deems that color rendering is critical
