NC-v4 SSc6: Light pollution reduction
1. Question for SSc6 Table 3 : What is meaning "All other luminaires" in Allowed glare rating chapter? Does it mean all luminaires in site oriened properly or not should meet this "G" criteria? If luminaire is "properly oriented" his BUG rating must meet just "B" rating or "G" as well?
2. If pole mounted luminaire (not building mounted ) located close than 2 mounting height and not properly oriented, what BUG criteria should apply?

1. The first 4 lines for Glare rating are for "building mounted" lights. "All other luminaires" would be anything not building mounted.
Proper orientation just mean the "B" rating is facing the property line when less than 2 MH. Both the "B" and"G" ratings must comply.
2. That would not comply with this Credit. All luminaires less than two mounting heights must be oriented properly.
