Illumination

The light from any sign component shall be so shaded, shielded or directed, or shall be maintained at a sufficiently low level of intensity and brightness that it shall not adversely affect neighborhood premises nor the safe vision of operators of vehicles moving on public roads and highways. All lighted signs and advertising lights shall be so shaded, shielded or directed that they shall not reflect or shine on or into residential structures to an extent that would adversely affect them, nor into the sky.

Sodium-vapor type lighting is prohibited.

Neon signs (fluorescent paint or gaseous tube illumination) are permitted provided that:

• Such signs are placed in the window of commercial establishments;

• Such signs do not exceed three per establishment (this is in addition to the total limit on signs for commercial uses in the opening paragraph to section 82-1405);

• The area of such signs does not exceed 25 percent of the window area of any window in which they are placed.
