Light pollution is the presence of unwanted artificial light that brightens the night sky. Improperly shielded lights are the source of many of the issues regarding the light pollution in Hawai'i. Urban centers in the cities are often so bathed in light that over a hundred kilometers from the city's edge, the light pollution resulting from the glow is present. This type of lighting is when some or all of the light goes straight up to space, instead of down to the ground or onto objects, and gets wasted. Dark night skies are an important natural, cultural, scientific, educational, and economic resource for Hawai‘i. There is a heightened risk on the dark sky because of urban lighting that lights up the night sky.
