Idyllwild Arts Academy (IAA) has substantial outside lighting requirements for visibility and safety. Students, faculty and visitors are often out in darker hours, going to and from dorms and the dining hall, the library and various art studios, or attending on-campus performances and recitals.

So, outside lighting is one of many areas we have been looking at. Plus, many of us have outside lighting needs at home.
