As a rural community ideally situated on a mountainside, at high elevation, Interlaken residents have a rare opportunity to enjoy beautiful night skies, starscapes and moonlite mountain panoramas. The Interlaken Outdoor Lighting Specifications encourage the design and use of outdoor lighting fixtures that curtail light pollution, reduce skyglow, improve the nighttime environment for astronomy, and save energy. Please take these specifications into consideration for your new home or renovation project.
