Dark-Sky Friendly Products

IDA LogoSelect Extreme products have been designated by the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA) as dark-sky friendly fixtures. The products are recognized for providing highly effective scene illumination without causing light pollution.

By utilizing the approved technologies, security end users can implement high performance surveillance while preserving the night sky, as well as "future-proof" their security investments amidst emerging light pollution ordinances.

Why should security professionals care about light pollution?
- The security industry has been identified as a major contributor to light pollution mainly due to its use of flood lighting.
- Light pollution degrades one's view of the night sky and wastes energy, increasing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
- The Clean Neighborhoods and Environments Act in the UK was enacted to discourage light pollution and poorly designed lighting schemes.
- Lighting scheme ordinances are emerging throughout the US to combat light pollution.

Active-infrared: a solution to light pollution
- Active-infrared is invisible to the human eye at any wavelength.
- Specifically designed for CCTV systems, active-infrared produces high quality, evenly-illuminated night-time imaging.
- Active-infrared illuminators are highly-efficient, low voltage units that produce targeted, strategic light.
