From much of the threads in this topic, it appears that the requirement to meet option 2 of this credit is that you "Partially or fully shield all exterior fixtrues 50 watts and over so that they do not directly emit light to the night sky". This has always been my understanding as well.

However, later on in the reference guide (page 70), it states that you have to "Identify all exterior and site lighting fixtures greater than 50 watts and ensure that shields are in place to prevent light from being emitted to the night sky." Would this second statement imply that if you have a 50 watt exterior light, you would NOT have to shield it?

Has anyone submitted (and have achieved the credit) when you have had 50 watt exterior lamps that were not shielded (based on the page 70 description)?
