We the undersigned want the Southampton Town Board to enact an outdoor lighting code that addesses all excessive, misdirected, and unnecessary night lighting in order to reduce light pollution in the Town of Southampton. We want the Town Board to vote in favor of a lighting code that provides for a five year amortization of non-conforming lighting to reduce glare, light trespass, and unnecessary energy consumption. We also want the Town to set up a Dark Sky Advisory Committee to help educate the Town about the benefits of the legislation. Your voice will be even more effective if you call or email members of the Town Board and the Supervisor with your opinion: Hon. Linda A. Kabot, Supervisor, 283-6055, [email protected] Hon. Nancy S. Graboski, 287-5745, [email protected] Hon. Christopher R. Nuzzi, 287-5745, cnuzzi@@southamptontownny.gov Hon. Sally G. Pope, 287-5745, [email protected] Hon. Anna Throne-Holst, 287-5745, [email protected] cc: [email protected] (Town Clerk)

I look at my own window every night and dream of seeing the stars clearly again instead of just the glare from all this wasted light. We are moving toward five hundred signatures but the board needs to see much more momentum to take us seriously. Please send the link to your neighbors so we can keep this push going strong.

Seeing one hundred people sign on in support of our night skies feels incredible. Watching this tide turn toward protecting the beauty of our home confirms that people truly value the stars above Southampton.

the town needs to get a handle on this. tired of driving down the road and getting blinded by some of these massive commercial lights.

why do businesses need to light up the whole parking lot until 3am? waste of power and it looks tacky.
