Shield a porch or yard light to a dark-sky-compliant design.

This home's unshielded porch or yard light throws glare upward and outward all night, wasting electricity and washing out the Trans-Pecos night sky the region's dark-sky designation depends on.

Pay

$80 proposed

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

homeowner/resident-permission record + before/after photos (day and night) + power-off confirm + GPS

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. 1. Confirm the fixture with the resident: a ground-level porch, yard, or garage light only, and photograph the bare, unshielded fixture before starting.
2. 2. Power off the fixture at its switch or breaker before touching any wiring or lamp.
3. 3. Install a full-cutoff shield or a shielded dark-sky-compliant fixture so light points down and not outward or upward.
4. 4. Restore power and photograph the shielded fixture lit at night alongside the daytime after photo, confirming no upward glare.

What counts as done

• Written or recorded permission from the resident
• Before photo of the unshielded fixture, day and night
• Power confirmed off at the switch/breaker before work began
• After photo of the shielded fixture, day and night, showing light directed downward only

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Energy Efficiency Audit. Energy efficiency work begins with the walkthrough audit, the kind the ASHRAE standard describes: a trained eye moving through a building, reading the bills, the walls, the lights, and the equipment, and coming out with the short list of fixes worth doing first. Mastery looks like an auditor who can feel where a building is bleeding money within the hour, and prove it on paper. That instinct is trained by repetition on real buildings. This packet is one repetition: one system observed, one reading taken, one finding recorded the way the standard asks.
