NC-v4 SSc6:Light pollution reduction

Is string lighting exempt from the Light Trespass/Uplight requirements.

Hi, we have a project where they are using string lighting to light a pathway. Is string lighting exempt from the Light Trespass/Uplight requirements due to the low wattage based on ASHRAE or LEED?

Summer, Wattage has nothing to do with it. If you use the BUG method option to comply, then you can determine the BUG rating for each individual lamp on the string and consider that a light fixture, and then based on the Lighting Zone you are in you could determine compliance.  Do you know the type of "string lights" you will be using?
