e) To protect and reclaim the ability to view the night sky;
f) To allow the flexibility in the style of lighting fix­tures;

g) To provide lighting guide­lines;

h) To discourage the wast­ing
of energy used to pro­duce
excessive lighting;
i) To provide assistance to property owners and occupants in bringing non­conforming
lighting into conformance with this ar­ticle.

j) To minimize the impact of stray lighting on human health, habitat and envi­ronment.

B. Definitions.
As used in this article, un­less
otherwise expressly stated, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
AREA LIGHT - A lumi­naire
designed for illu­mination
of a broad area. Area lights include, but are not limited to, streetlights, parking lot lights and yard lights over 1,800 (100 watts incandescent) lumens.
AVERAGE HORIZONTAL FOOTCANDLE - The average level of illumi­nance
for a given situation measured at ground level with the light meter placed parallel to the ground.
ESSENTIAL LIGHTING - Lighting that is used for a specified period of time, which is necessary for a specific task or purpose while said task or purpose is actively being performed. This includes lighting that is necessary to promote public safety or facilitate public circulation.
EXCESSIVE LIGHTING - Illuminance levels be­yond
that which is required for safety, as is indicated on the Table of Limits of Illumination Levels (See Table 3 at the end of this chapter.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING - Temporary or permanent lighting equipment that is installed, located or used in such a manner with the intention to cause light rays to shine outdoors. Luminaires located in­doors
that are intended to light something outside are considered exterior lighting for the purposes of this article.
FIXTURE (ALSO CALLED "LUMINAIRE") - The bulb, the assembly that holds the bulb (or lamp) in

a lighting system, and the mounting apparatus, in­cluding
reflecting elements, shielding elements, cover glass or lenses, the ballast, and the housing.
FLOODLIGHT - A fixture rated to produce over 1,800 lumens (100 watts incan­descent),
regardless of the number of bulbs, and is designed to flood an area with light.
FOOTCANDLE (FC) - The American unit of il­luminance
(the amount of light falling on a sur­face).
One footcandle is approximately equal to the illuminance produced by a light source of one candle, measured on a surface one foot away from the source. Horizontal footcandles measure the illumination striking a horizontal plane. Footcandle values can be measured directly with certain handheld incident light meters.
FULL CUTOFF (FCO) - A classification for a luminaire designed and installed where no light is emitted at or above a horizontal plane running through the lowest point on the luminaire. In addition, the luminous intensity (as measured in candelas) emitted at any angle from 80° up to 90° cannot exceed a numerical value equal to 10% of the lumen rating of the lamp, as reported in a photometric report from the manufacturer as pro­duced
by an independent lab. A cutoff, or semi-cutoff, design allows a restricted amount of light emitted above the horizontal and a non-cutoff provides no restriction against light emitted above the hori­zontal.

FULLY SHIELDED - A luminaire constructed, lamped, and installed in such a manner that all light emitted by it, either directly from the lamp or a diffusing element, or indirectly by reflection or refraction from any part of the luminaire, is projected below the horizontal. A full cutoff fixture is also fully shielded, but with­out
any restrictions on light distribution below the horizontal plane, and it can be identified without a manufacturer's report.
GLARE - Stray, unshield­ed
light striking the eye that may result in: - A. Nuisance or annoyance, such as light falling across property lines; - B. Dis­comfort,
such as bright light causing squinting of the eyes; - C. Disability, such as bright light re­ducing
the ability of the eyes to see into shadows and visual performance; or - D. Distracting light which diverts the eye from a visual task.
HID LIGHTING - A fam­ily
of bulb types known as "high intensity discharge," including high-pressure sodium, mercury vapor, and metal halide. These types require a warm-up time, usually require a ballast, and have a higher lumen output per wan than

incandescent or halogen lamps.
HOLIDAY LIGHTING - Temporary lights used to celebrate holidays. Holiday lighting includes, but is not limited to, strings of small individual lights, illuminated menorahs, il­luminated
nativity scenes, illuminated candles, and various yard decorations seasonal in nature.
IESNA - Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IES or IESNA), an organization that establishes updated standards and illumination guidelines for the lighting industry.
IESNA RECOMMEND­ED
PRACTICES - The publications of the IESNA setting forth illuminance levels for different task ar­eas,
e.g., walkways, streets, sportslights, etc.
ILLUMINANCE - The density of light falling on any point of a surface, usu­ally
measured in footcan­dles
in the United States. See "footcandle."
LAMP - The generic term for an artificial light source, to be distinguished from the whole assembly (see "fixture"); commonly referred to as the "light bulb."
LIGHT - The form of radi­ant
energy acting on the retina of the eye to make sight possible.
LIGHTING ASSEMBLY - Any or all parts of a luminaire that function to produce light, including the bulb, assembly, ballast, mounting features and/or pole.
LIGHT POLLUTION - Any adverse effect of man-made light, including but not limited to glare, light trespass, skyglow, visual clutter, wasted energy due to excessive or unnecessary lighting, or any man-made light that unnecessarily di­minishes
the ability to view the night sky or is disrup­tive
to flora and fauna.
LIGHT TRESPASS - Light projected onto the property of another or into the public right-of-way when it is not required or permitted to do so.
LUMEN - A unit used to measure the actual amount of light that is produced by a bulb. The lumen quanti­fies
the amount of light energy produced by a lamp at the lamp, not by the energy input, which is in­dicated
by the wattage. For example, a seventy-five-watt incandescent lamp can produce 1,000 lumens while a seventy-watt high-pressure sodium lamp produces 6,000 lumens. Lumen output is listed by the manufacturer on the light bulb packaging.
LUMINAIRE - The com­plete
lighting assembly (in­cluding
the lamp, housing, ballasts, photocells, reflec­tors,
lenses and shields), including the support as­sembly
(pole or mounting bracket); a light fixture. For purposes of determining total light output from a luminaire or light fixture, lighting assemblies which

include multiple unshielded or partially shielded lamps on a single pole or standard shall be considered as a single unit.
LUMINANCE - The brightness of a source of light.
MOUNTING HEIGHT - The distance from natu­ral
grade to the lowest light-emitting part of the luminaire.
NON-CONFORMING LIGHTING - Lighting which does not meet the requirements and specifica­tions
contained herein.
NONESSENTIAL LIGHT­ING
- Lighting which is unnecessary and not gener­ally
useful (e.g., decorative and landscape lighting). This includes lighting in­tended
for a specific task or purpose when said task or purpose is not being actively performed (e.g., parking lot illumination and wall-mounted perim­eter
lights after business hours).
PARTIALLY SHIELDED - A luminaire which is not fully shielded but in­corporates
a partial shield around the lamp.
PHOTOMETRICS - Tech­nical
test reports that indi­cate
light distribution and performance from a lumi­naire.
Photometric reports may include candlepower distribution data, cutoff classifications,footcandle charts, etc. These are gen­erally
available from the luminaire manufacturers.
REPAIR OF A LUMI­NAIRE
OR SIGN - Any service normally provided by a licensed electrician upon a luminaire or sign. Repair shall be considered to include replacement or modification of any of the following: poles, mounting arms, housings, hardware, wiring, ballasts, lenses, reflectors, diffusers, baffles,shields, sensors, switches, relays, power supplies, and lamp replacement modules which contain any of the items listed above. Replace­ment
of a user-serviceable lamp will not by itself be considered a repair.
SKYGLOW - The over­head
glow from light emit­ted
sideways and upwards, including light reflected upward from the ground or other surfaces. Skyglow is caused by the reflection and scattering of various forms of light by dust, water, and other particles suspended in the atmosphere. Among other effects, skyglow re­duces
one's ability to view the night sky. Different sources of light, in equal quantities, can contribute differently to sky glow.
TEMPORARY LIGHTING - Lighting that is intended to be used for a specific event and removed within seven days thereafter.
UNIFORMITY RATIO (U RATIO) - A ratio that describes uniformity of il­luminance
across an area. The uniformity ratio may be a ratio of the maximum-to-minimum illuminance or the average-to-minimum il­luminance.
For example, if the Illuminating Engineer­ing

Society recommends an average-to-minimum ratio of 4:1 for a parking lot, the minimum illuminance should be no less than 1/4 of the average illuminance across the parking lot.
UNSHIELDED FIXTURE - A fixture which, as de­signed
or installed, emits all or part of the light emissions above the low­est
light emitting part of the fixture.
C. Applicability; non­conforming
lighting; excep­tions.

1. All exterior lighting, installed, replaced, altered, changed, repaired or re­located
after the effective date of this article shall conform to the provisions established by this article except as provided hereto.
2. Existing exterior light­ing
in conflict with this article shall be classified as "nonconforming." All exterior lighting existing or installed prior to the date of the adoption herein, which does not conform with the provisions of the article, shall be exempt, provided that the following require­ments
are met:
a) Upon adoption of this ar­ticle,
with any installation, replacement, alteration, change, repair, or reloca­tion
of any nonconforming luminaire, such luminaire shall be brought in compli­ance
with the terms of this article.
b) To the extent that preex­isting
residential exterior floodlights can accommo­date
lamps of a total of less than 1,800 lumens (100 watt incandescent), said exterior lighting shall be equipped with a lamp or lamps of a total of less than 1,800 lumens (100 watt incandescent) per fixture and, to the extent possible, be angled down­ward,
such that the center beam is not directed above a forty-five-degree angle measured from the vertical line drawn from the center of the lamp to the ground, and so as not to cause glare, light trespass, or beam spread beyond the intended target or across property lines. Operable photocells, motion sensors, timers that allow a light to go on at dusk and off by 11:00 p.m., as well as retrofit shields are encouraged to alleviate nuisance and disability glare.
3. Exceptions. Any outdoor lighting, whether residen­tial,
commercial, institu­tional
and privately or publicly-owned, which is lawfully in existence prior to the effective date of this article shall be exempt from the provisions of this article under the following conditions:
a) Unshielded residential luminaires. Unshielded residential luminaires equal to one sixty-watt incandescent lamp per fix­ture,
regardless of number of lamps, are allowed, pro­vided
light trespass limita­tions
are met.
b) Vehicular lights and

all temporary emergency lighting needed by the fire, ambulance, police depart­ments
or other emergency services are exempt.
c) Residential sensor-ac­tivated
luminaires, pro­vided:

i. The luminaire is opera­tional
and located in such a manner, or shielded, to prevent glare and light trespass;
ii. The luminaire is set to only go on when activated and to go off within five minutes after activation has ceased; and
iii. The sensor shall not be triggered by activity off the property.
iv. The luminaire output, regardless of the number of lamps, does not exceed 1,800 lumens (100 watts incandescent).
d) Illumination of signs permitted pursuant to the Town of Babylon, Chapter 213, Signs, and any amend­ments
made hereto.
e) In situations of lighted flags which are not illu­minated
with "downward" lighting, upward lighting may be used in the form of a single ground-mounted nar­row
cone spotlight which confines the illumination to the flag, provided the lu­men
output is no more than 1,300 lumens, regardless of the number of lamps. The Town encourages the tradition of lowering flags at sunset to avoid the need for lighting.
f) Lighting of radio, com­munication
and navigation towers is allowed, provided the owner or occupant dem­onstrates
that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations can only be met through the use of lighting that does not com­ply
with this article, and that the provisions of this article are otherwise met to the fullest extent possible. Tower lighting shall not be permitted unless required by the FAA; in which case, required lighting shall be of the lowest allowed intensity and red, unless specificallyforbidden under FAA re­quirements.
Towers which are constructed no higher than 199 feet are preferable to avoid the need for FAA lighting.
g) Installation and replace­ment
of municipal street­lights
which are designated as "historic" or are decora­tive
in nature, if part of a continuous lighting design scheme where the replace­ment
of the luminaire on a piecemeal basis with com­pliant
luminaries would unacceptably degrade or destroy the aesthetic char­acter
of the existing light­ing
design.
h) Existing luminaries used for lighting of municipal playing fields are exempt from the mounted height and shielding requirements of this article, provided that the lights are illumi­nated
only when the field is in use. All new instal­lations
shall use shielded

luminaries that control light trespass, glare and upward light (sky glow). The maximum allowable upward light from the lu­minaire
shall be five (5%) percent.
i) Lighting used in the undertaking of emergency roadwork, or emergency repair or maintenance of utility lines, or of sewer or water mains shall be exempt.
j) Lighting used for a spe­cial
event either sponsored by or by virtue of a contract or permit with the Town of Babylon, or otherwise permitted to take place by the Town of Babylon. Such lighting may be installed up to seven (7) days before the event and shall be removed no later than three (3) days of the end of the event, un­less
otherwise provided by the Town Board or other designated town officer.
k) Lighting of monuments or memorials erected by or with the approval of the Town.
l) Illumination of the Unit­ed
States Flag.
m) Where federal or state laws, rules or regula­tions
take precedence.
D. Placement and height of fixtures for resi­dential
and nonresidential exterior lighting.
1. No residential or nonresi­dential
luminaires shall be taller than 20 feet from the natural grade to the low­est
light-emitting part of the fixture. Parking area lights are encouraged to be greater in number, lower in height and lower in light level, as opposed to fewer in number, higher in height and higher in light level.
2. All exterior lighting rated to be lamped at 1,800 lumens (100 watts incandescent) and greater shall use full cutoff lumi­naires,
as determined by photometry test or certified by the manufacturer, and installed as designed with the light source directed downward. All exterior lighting 1,800 lumens (100 watts incandescent) and less shall use fully shielded fixtures and shall be in­stalled
as designed.
E. Illumination lev­els
and prohibited effects for residential and nonresi­dential
exterior lighting.
1. All residential and non­residential
exterior light­ing
shall not cause light trespass and shall protect adjacent properties from glare and excessive light­ing.

2. All lighting in the Town of Babylon shall not exceed recommended light levels as listed in Table of Il­lumination
Limits, Table 3. Editor's Note: Table 3 is included at the end of this chapter (see Attachment 9).
F. Illuminance and type of lamp for all nonresidential exterior lighting.
1. Permissible luminaire location and effects.
a) No luminaire shall be located or concentrated

so as to produce glare or direct illumination across the boundary property line, nor shall any such light be of such intensity as to cre­ate
a nuisance or detract from the use and enjoy­ment
of adjacent property. See Table 1 and Table 2 for setback, height, and maximum light output recommendations for guid­ance.
Editor's Note: Tables 1 and 2 are included at the end of this chapter (see Attachment 9).
b) The maximum illumi­nance
at or beyond the property line that adjoins a residential parcel or public right-of-way may not ex­ceed
0.05 fc horizontal on the ground or 0.05 fc verti­cal
measured at a five-foot height above the ground, unless another applicable law supersedes. Maximum horizontal or vertical illu­minance
allowed between adjacent commercial prop­erties
is 0.1 fc.
2. Permissible levels of il­luminance.

a) The average illuminance levels listed in the Illumi­nation
Levels for Various Common Tasks, as pro­vided
in Table 3, Editor's Note: Table 3 is included at the end of this chapter (see Attachment 9). shall not be exceeded for nonresidential exterior lighting unless otherwise specified or ap­proved
by the Zoning Board of Appeals.
b) The Town of Babylon rec­ognizes
that not every situ­ation
will require lighting, including situations which may utilize the installation of reflectorized markers, lines, signs or other pas­sive
means, and excessive or unnecessary light shall be avoided.
c) Illuminance level mea­surements
for parking lots, sidewalks, and other walkways shall include light contributions from nearby side-mounted build­ing
lights, freestanding sidewalk lights affected by side-mounted building lights, and streetlights.
d) In no instance may any lighted surface, as installed, exceed the maxi­mum
values listed in Table 3 for the appropriate task, as measured horizontally or vertically by a light meter.
3. High-pressure sodium, compact fluorescent, or low-pressure sodium shall be used for all light sources rated over 1,800 lumens (100 watts incandescent). Metal halide (MH) rated over 3,000K and mercury vapor (MV) light sources are not permitted.
G. General standards for nonresidential exterior lighting.
1. All exterior lighting shall be designed, located, and lamped in order to pre­vent:

a) Overlighting;
b) Energy waste;
c) Glare;
d) Light trespass;
e) Unnecessary skyglow;
f) Interference with pedes­trian
or vehicular travel on streets, roadways and highways; and
g) A public hazard or nui­sance.


2. All nonessential exterior lighting shall be turned off within one (1) hour after the close of business or the end of the activity and no later than 11:00 p.m. for those businesses that are closed to the public on or before 9:00 p.m. Lights that are controlled by photocells and timers are encouraged, as is the use of sensor-activated lights to replace existing lighting which may be needed for safety or emergency purposes.
3. Under-canopy lights, such as service station lighting, shall be full cut­off
and fully recessed to prevent glare and light trespass. Illuminance lev­els
at gas stations shall not exceed those established in Table 3. Editor's Note: Table 3 is included at the end of this chapter (see Attachment 9).
4. Area exterior lights. All area exterior lights shall be full cutoff luminaries.
5. After the adoption of this article, no person, firm, owner, tenant, person in possession, partnership, corporation or other busi­ness
