Impact analysis
You might have to shell out some cash to upgrade your outdoor lights to meet the new dark-sky standards.
Stargazers, local astronomers, and anyone who loves a good view of the Milky Way win big here.
Folks who love super bright security lights or businesses that rely on flashy, unshielded outdoor signs might find the new rules a bit of a headache.
