Requires State to use certain energy-efficient outdoor lighting fixtures.
New Jersey Senate Bill S 2328 requires the State to use energy-efficient outdoor lighting fixtures when installing, replacing, or maintaining such fixtures with state funds. Specifically, it mandates that fixtures exceeding 1,800 lumens must be "cutoff luminaires" (directing light downward to minimize waste), while ensuring only the minimum necessary illumination is used for safety and functionality. The law exempts temporary uses (like emergencies or special events), historic properties, and situations where alternatives like reflective road markers suffice. It applies only to state-owned facilities and infrastructure (e.g., state buildings, highways), not to local governments or private property.
