Moab has been certified as an International Dark Sky Community

Moab, Utah, with its stunning landscapes, renowned national parks, and exhilarating river rafting, is an adventure destination for millions of Americans annually.

Recently, after a multiyear effort to reduce light pollution, Moab has been certified as an International Dark Sky Community by DarkSky International.

To reduce sky glow and glare, the City modernized its outdoor lighting infrastructure with Crossroads LED’s “Prestige Series” dark-sky compliant luminaires.

The luminaires have transformed the City’s iconic decorative streetlights into a modern, energy saving LED platform that combines a visually appealing soft amber illumination with enhanced optics and dark-sky shielding that surpasses the City’s stringent lighting requirements.

According to Utah’s Office of Tourism, stargazing is set to bring an estimated $5.8 billion in visitor spending to Dark Sky certified communities in and around the four corners region.

With Moab’s Dark Sky Community designation in place, the city is now an astrotourism destination for anyone seeking to view the night sky in all its wonder.

Crossroads LED is honored to have been selected for this amazing streetlighting project and looks forward to our continued relationship with the beautiful City of Moab, Utah.Activate to view larger image,
