I see from the description that Pilot Credits can be achieved only as an ID credit, which leads me to ask: Does that mean that we could get the regular LEED 2009 SSc8 credit, and also this one? I can see the argument both ways, but to me it seems logical that we could get this point instead of the regular compliance path. Is it defnitely only ID?

For the time being, pilot credits are only available as ID credits, not as alternative compliance paths to existing credits. This means that in the case of light pollution reduction, a project could earn both SSc8 and Pilot Credit 7 on the same project. What we can learn from these projects is whether the new credit is an improvement on the old one in terms of clarity, stringency, ease of use, etc. It gives us a good apples to apples comparison since the project specifics are the same.
