NC-v4 SSc6:Light pollution reduction

BUG rating method for adjustable lighting

Hi, 

I'm workng on a project that is LZ2 and I was wondering I was wondering if I would be able to use the following fixture to uplight some trees http://www.waclighting.com/product/accent-120v/

How does one get the BUG rating of an adjustable light fixture? 

Thank you!

BUG ratings are not intended for adjustible light fixtures.  I would call it 100% uplight.  B0 U4 G0.  Which I doubt helps you.

You might be able to exempt it.
"lighting that is used solely for façade and landscape lighting in MLO lighting zones 3 and 4, and is automatically turned off from midnight until 6 a.m.;"

If you can't exempt it and can't use the BUG rating then you do the calculation method for uplight and have all 795 lumens count as uplight.
