Outdoor Lighting by Starry Night Lights (Part II)

Night Sky Friendly Lighting
As I mentioned previously, we ended up purchasing 3 different types of outdoor lights for our home. Each is designed to fit nicely into the color/materials scheme of a specific area of this house. As I also mentioned, we purchased these lights online from night sky friendly lighting provider, Starry Night Lights (www.StarryNightLights.com).
This outdoor light fixture, the SPJ48-02 by SPJ Lighting is pictured here in "Raw Copper"... though we'll be getting it in "Rusty" which should have it fit nicely into the area we've planned for... the front entry. The front entry is wrapped in Montana Stone. I'm not sure what makes Montana stone any more special than Utah stone... or Wyoming stone, or any other stone for that matter, but... the rock contractor made it a point to point out that it was Montana stone. Anyway... we expect the fixture to match nicely with the colors found inside our Montana rock. Additionally, the night sky friendly nature of this closed top fixture will blend nicely into our mountain setting. (We're nestled comfortably into the trees on the side of a mountain at roughly 7000'). We'll need to take & display some photos of our house and its diverse lighting scheme when we're done. Then, you can be the judge as to whether or not it actually works. Regardless, we were determined not to mar the beautiful night sky above our mountain home... hence the lights chosen. If more folks would do the same, perhaps a larger number of people would actually be able to see the Milky Way at night :-\
