Dark Sky Protection: All Luminaires Point Downward

A night view of a settlement implementing dark sky regulations, where all outdoor luminaires adopt a full cut-off design, with light directed entirely downwards. The luminous surface of the luminaires is concealed by shades, making the light source completely invisible from the side and above. The ground and roads are clearly illuminated, but the brightness is maintained only to the necessary extent, with no light emitted towards the sky. Consequently, the sky remains deep black, with the Milky Way and numerous stars clearly visible, and the silhouettes of building roofs are outlined against the starry sky. The street light is a warm yellow with a low color temperature, with light spots falling one by one on the ground, leaving darker transition zones between them. Avoid: showing upward-facing floodlights, creating halos in the sky, using high color temperature white light, illuminating the ground too brightly and eliminating the gaps between light spots.

一個實施暗空規範的聚落夜景,所有戶外燈具都採用全遮蔽式設計,光線完全朝下,燈具的發光面被燈罩遮住,從側面與上方完全看不見光源。地面與道路被明確照亮,但亮度僅維持到必要程度,沒有任何光線射向天空。因此天空維持深黑,銀河與大量星點清晰可見,建築的屋頂輪廓襯在星空前呈現剪影。街道的光是暖黃的低色溫,光斑一個一個落在地面,彼此之間留有較暗的過渡區。避免:出現向上打的投光燈、讓天空出現光暈、使用高色溫的白光、把地面照得過亮而消除光斑的間隔。
