Organizations: Pledge to go Lights Out

I proudly join Lights Out Louisville

As a decision-maker for a Louisville-area organization (business or nonprofit, school, house of worship, commercial or industrial facility), I pledge to minimize all nonessential lights in my building(s) from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. during peak spring and fall bird migration—April and May and September and October—as well as make seasonal lighting changes. Specific actions I will take include:

⦿ Turning off or reducing spotlights and/or decorative lighting
⦿ Putting outdoor lighting on timers and/or adding motion sensors, indoors and outdoors, wherever possible
⦿ Down-shielding exterior safety lighting or limiting lighting to ground level
⦿ Turning off or dimming unused interior lights, especially on upper floors, or drawing window coverings if people are working after sunset
⦿ Reducing lobby and atrium lighting, whenever possible
⦿ Choosing warmer tones (less than 3000 K) for outdoor lighting
