NC-v4 SSc6: Light pollution reduction
Hello,
The project I am working on is in zone LZ-1 (occupied part of a park).
We wish to pursue this credit but the architect want to have the possibility to lighten upwards the tower for some special events occasionally.
Is it acceptable ? The building is a museum. The special events would be during a concert once a month (8pm-11pm).

Is existing lighting required to be included in the calculations? What are the exceptions?
Does athletic field lighting need to be included in this credit?
What’s the difference between the Project Boundary and the Lighting Boundary?

Architects are artists. They like to paint with light. This credit puts limits on how light can be used.
LZ1 has a limit of 0% uplight (Option 2). The only way I can think of complying is with the exception described as "lighting for theatrical purposes for stage, film, and video performances." Concerts sound like a stage performance. Describe the system well and how the uplights are only used during performances.
