17    shielded with an IES BUG rating and produce less than 1% of
18    its emitted light above 80 degrees from the downward
19    vertical direction of nadir. Light should not be emitted
20    at an angle above 60 degrees from the downward vertical
21    direction of nadir.
22        (2) Luminaires must avoid light trespass by not
23    exceeding an illuminance of one lux as measured at ground
		HB5474 Enrolled	- 2 -	LRB104 19241 BDA 32687 b
1    level both horizontally and vertically at the property
2    boundary.
3        (3) Luminaires purchased or installed on or before 
4    June 30, 2032 must have a correlated color temperature
5    less than or equal to 2,700 Kelvin. All new luminaires 
6    purchased or installed after June 30, 2032 must have a 
7    correlated color temperature less than or equal to 2,200 
8    Kelvin. [In residential areas, dark sky locations, or ]
9    [environmentally sensitive areas, such as State parks and ]
10    [outdoor recreation facilities, correlated color ]
11    [temperature should be no more than 2,200 Kelvin.]
12        (4) Outdoor lighting must be minimized to no more than
13    25% above ANSI/IES standards or United States Department
14    of Transportation recommendations.
15        (5) Facade lighting must be minimized to no more than
