Describe these light shields you desire.
Numerous cities and neighborhoods worldwide have successfully installed street light shields, reducing light pollution and its adverse effects on sleep and wildlife health. These real-life examples illustrate how practical solutions can minimize light trespass and improve community well-being.
Flagstaff, Arizona: Known as the first International Dark Sky City, Flagstaff installed street light shields and adopted low-glare LED lights to control light trespass. This resulted in clearer night skies and improved nocturnal wildlife behavior.
Horseshoe Bay, Texas: The city leveraged shielded, downward-facing lights to protect its local bird population. The decrease in light pollution helped reduce disorientation in migratory birds, ensuring safer migrations.
Tucson, Arizona: Tucson reduced its light pollution by 20% by installing over 20,000 shields on city street lights. This resulted not only in energy savings but also in improved sleep quality for residents.
Toronto, Canada: In an effort to reduce energy consumption and combat light pollution, Toronto implemented a full cut-off fixture policy in 2007, requiring all new and replacement outdoor lighting to be fully shielded.

Why do closed business's have to have lights and signs lit all night?

Applications on a house. In general, point the light down not up.

Couple of points.
1. The street light industry started designing fixtures that limit or cut off light above the horizon more than 20 years ago.
2. Light is not the issue. Air pollution that is illuminated by light is the issue.
