Introduction
Dark sky-compliant lighting design is a growing trend in the field of outdoor lighting, aimed at reducing light pollution and preserving the natural beauty of the night sky. With the increase in urbanization and the widespread use of artificial lighting, light pollution has become a serious environmental issue with negative impacts on human health, wildlife, and astronomical research. Dark sky-compliant lighting design seeks to address these issues by implementing lighting fixtures and strategies that minimize light pollution and reduce energy consumption.
