Norfolk’s Smarter Street Lights
from Virginia Beach News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Norfolk is quietly revolutionizing its streets by ditching harsh LED glare for smarter, sleep-friendly lighting—after years of complaints about being stuck in a stadium under blinding bulbs. City leaders, Dominion Energy, and lighting experts are collaborating with residents to find the perfect balance: dimmer, warmer-toned lights that signal bedtime to humans and protect migratory birds from deadly collisions. Community feedback is driving change—less glare, more downward focus, and even a chance to see stars and fireflies again. With nearly $700K already invested and more funding on the way, Norfolk proves that listening to neighbors and nature can lead to brighter, better cities.
