Clark County, NV Outdoor Lighting: Dark Sky Rules (2026)

Title 30's exterior lighting standards apply countywide in unincorporated areas, including the Strip resort corridor in Paradise and Winchester (though the Las Vegas Boulevard Gaming Corridor itself is exempted). All on-site lighting must be shielded to prevent glare and light trespass, capped at 0.2 footcandles at any shared property line. In commercial, industrial, and special districts, fixtures must be fully shielded, project downward, use warm light below 3,300 Kelvin (no white or blue-white), and stay under 25 feet on freestanding poles. Unshielded glare, rooftop fixtures, flashing or neon lighting, mercury vapor and low-pressure sodium lamps, and any light spilling above the roofline are outright prohibited.
