Ridgway's Dark Sky Brochure and Ridgway's Outdoor Lighting Ordinance provide guidance on how we strive to protect our night skies by shielding all outdoor lights, using softer outdoor bulbs (3000 Kelvin or less), using fewer lights, turning lights off when they are not needed, and sometimes using lighting controls like motion detectors and dimmers.
