Henderson has outdoor lighting standards in its development code that address light pollution. While not a comprehensive dark-sky ordinance, the city requires shielded, downward-directed exterior lighting for new commercial and multi-family development. The development code aims to reduce light trespass and sky glow.
Henderson's development code includes exterior lighting standards for commercial, industrial, and multi-family projects. New development must use full-cutoff or fully shielded fixtures. Maximum illumination levels are specified at property boundaries. The city's lighting standards help preserve the desert night sky while ensuring safety. Residential properties in HOA communities may face additional lighting restrictions.
New development that fails to meet lighting standards may have permits denied. Existing lighting that violates code may be addressed through code enforcement.
