The general assembly finds that fully shielded lighting units considerably
reduce light pollution. The general assembly further finds that the replacement
of unshielded lighting units with fully shielded lighting units can result in
substantial lowering in the wattage of the lamp needed to maintain an
equivalent level of lighting on the ground, thereby realizing a considerable
energy savings to the state. Therefore, it is in the public interest to require
the use of fully shielded lighting units to the maximum extent possible.
