PROJECT DARK SKIES is an effort to bring back the charm of unpolluted star filled skies back to present generation. It is a dedicated campaign for better use of lighting/lighting fixtures and other illumination devices used in our day to day lives, which will lead to efficient use of electricity and saving of electrical energy which eventually lead to less load on our natural fuel reserves.

Light Pollution: Illumination of the night sky by electric lights, as in an urban area, that interferes with astronomical observation.

Artificial light is essential in our modern society. It has many uses including illumination of streets, roads and hazardous areas; for security lighting; to increase the hours of usage for outdoor sports and recreation facilities, to enhance the appearance of buildings at night. The increased use of lighting, however, can cause problems. Light in the wrong place at the wrong time can be intrusive.
