4 Dark Sky Friendly Alternatives with Amerlux

May 12, 2023

Exterior Post Top lighting can contribute significantly to “Sky Glow”, “Light Trespass” and reduce visibility in the night sky.  More and more municipalities and local governments are putting ordinances in place to address these issues and encourage Dark Sky Friendly lighting to improve their communities.

Amerlux can help with that effort by offering several different traditional and contemporary styled decorative post top luminaires that are listed as Dark Sky Friendly with the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA). Our Dark-Sky Friendly luminaires efficiently and effectively light exterior spaces with ZERO Up-light and precisely controlled horizontal lighting distributions to keep the downward light where it is intended. 

Lanterns

The Coach Style Lantern (CSL) is a high-performance utility grade LED luminaire with a traditional styling allowing it to compliment well established or historical settings.

Contemporary

Contemporary Post-top lighting for exterior retail, commercial and hospitality environments featuring high performance optical lenses, a choice of three different light patterns and various color temperatures.

Pendant

Improved performance, directional control, and efficacy allows this newest generation of the DPS to accommodate needs in the strictest environments.

Caged Acorn Style

The new DS770FC Series is a set of traditionally styled, post-top fixtures that can be specified and used in place of typical acorn-styled luminaries.
