NC-v4 SSc6:Light pollution reduction

Occasionnal Uplight Lighting (for special events)

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).

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.
