Protecting Our Night Skies – Why Outdoor Lighting Matters

​

At Newman Electrical, we’re proud to support the Wairarapa Dark Sky Reserve – a world-recognised haven for stargazing and natural beauty. By reducing light pollution, we not only protect our stunning night skies, but also support local wildlife, boost astro-tourism, and preserve this unique environment for future generations.

The good news? Making dark-sky-friendly changes is simple, affordable – and often saves you money on energy bills too.

Jack is happy to visit your home or workplace to chat about practical, cost-effective lighting solutions. Whether it’s switching to warm, downward-facing lights or adjusting existing setups, small changes can make a big difference. We also have a close working relationship with Sam and Hari from Milky Way Kiwi who are also available to help with advice on how to tailor your business to make the most of our special part of the world by focusing on the night sky and our Dark Sky Reserve.

Le’s work together to keep our skies dark, our stars bright, and our community shining in the right direction.
