Euless regulates exterior lighting through its zoning and site plan standards, requiring shielded fixtures that do not spill onto adjacent properties and capping brightness along residential boundaries.
Euless, TX does not formally designate itself as a Dark Sky community, but Chapter 82 of the zoning code includes outdoor lighting performance standards that limit glare and trespass. Commercial, multifamily, and institutional exterior lighting must use full-cutoff or fully shielded fixtures that direct light downward and away from adjacent residential property. Pole-mounted lighting in parking lots serving centers like Glade Parks and the SH-183 corridor is typically limited to 30 feet in height, with lower pole heights (18 to 20 feet) where adjacent to residential zones. Illumination at the property line adjoining a residential district cannot exceed 0.5 footcandles, measured at ground level. Residential landscape and security lighting must be aimed or shielded to prevent direct glare into neighboring windows and must not exceed safe levels of spillover. Flashing, blinking, or rotating lights are prohibited except for seasonal holiday displays. Complaints about glare or upward light pollution are handled by Code Enforcement at 817-685-1400 after a warning notice.
