NiteLites Outdoor Lighting Fixtures Makes the List on International Dark Sky Website


The International Dark Sky Association is a membership-based non-profit organization.  Their mission is to work to preserve and protect the nighttime environment and our heritage of dark skies through quality outdoor lighting.  The association’s approach to this goal is to encourage outdoor lighting manufacturers and planners to utilize fixtures which do not emit light that shines above the fixture itself as well as for the fixtures to be low voltage.  In general, their position is that all outdoor fixtures should be fully shielded and installed in such a way that no light is emitted above the lowest part of the fixture.  In this way, excessive glare, light trespass, and light pollution are minimized. 

To determine whether an outdoor lighting project is Dark Sky compliant, the association offers six questions – Is the lighting pleasant?  Is the lighting neighborly (does it provide light without intruding on a neighbor’s privacy)?  Does the lighting aid visibility for the area it is intended to light?  Does the lighting provide safety and security?  Does the lighting, while performing its function, conserve energy?  Does the lighting protect the night sky?   Good lighting, by the Dark Sky Association’s definition, provides lights where they are needed, when they are needed, and uses energy efficient sources for that light.

NiteLites low voltage lighting systems consume approximately 1/3 less energy than systems that use line (120V) voltage.  Low voltage systems have another distinct advantage over line volt systems in that they are much more flexible when applying the light to the object that is intended to be featured.  Many of NiteLites lighting fixtures are designed with shields which prevent light from rising above the fixture, including fixtures which have gained the Dark Sky Association’s seal of approval.  And many of NiteLites fixtures are designed and installed to shine downward, thereby minimizing light pollution.

NiteLites, the architectural and landscape lighting professionals, has been an industry leader in providing outdoor lighting systems to both residential and commercial customers since 1998.  The fixtures that NiteLites uses in its lighting systems are recyclable, high quality copper and brass, specification grade fixtures which are sturdy and made to endure the elements.  This company’s lights are low voltage lighting reducing the energy consumed by NiteLites systems.


NiteLites was recently recognized by Franchise Times as the 7th fastest growing franchise organization, and by the franchise business Review as one of the top 50 franchise organizations. That fact, coupled with the growing trend for Americans to purchase outdoor lighting systems, has led NiteLites Franchise Systems, Inc. to expanding their operations in selected regions of the United States.  Mr. Carl Frederick, VP of Franchise Sales and Development, stated “Any individual who has thought about owning their own business must consider the product, service, product research, training, and a solid business plan with a healthy return on investment.  The NiteLites franchise offer includes all of these.”
