You won't find a nicely lit, sky-friendly fast food restaurant anywhere in the High Country as nice as this one in Tucson, Arizona. Full cutoff, shielded lights save the nigh tsky and provide safe lighting.
These pages are devoted to the preservation of our natural, dark and star-filled skies. This natural heritage is threatened by the use of poor lighting fixtures and techniques. These low-quality methods of lighting not only pollute the sky with wasted light but do an inadequate job of lighting the area. Light pollution and unsafe lighting go hand in hand.
Explore these pages and check out the local lighting. Help us take back the night sky!
