IDA Approved Products
FSA Application
Formed in 1988, the International Dark-Sky Association is the authoritative voice on light pollution. IDA educates lighting designers, manufacturers, technical committees, and the public about light pollution abatement. We recognize that the best way to accomplish our goal of protecting and restoring our natural night environment and our heritage of dark skies is through promotion of quality outdoor lighting. It is in this spirit that we have developed the Fixture Seal of Approval (FSA) program for dark sky friendly fixtures.
The Fixture Seal of Approval provides objective, third-party certification for luminaires that minimize glare, reduce light trespass, and don’t pollute the night sky. For a modest fee, IDA will evaluate the photometric data of any luminaire submitted by its manufacturer. When the fixture is approved, the manufacturer receives a certificate and the Fixture Seal of Approval. Manufacturers may use the FSA seal to promote and advertise their IDA-Approved™ dark sky friendly products.
For more information on the FSA program, its scope, and its criteria, and for our answers to your frequently asked questions, please refer to our FSA program package (Portable Document Format). Or contact us online.
Submit your dark sky friendly product to IDA for evaluation and certification. Join the Fixture Seal of Approval program before your competitors do!
To apply for the Fixture Seal of Approval, download the FSA program package (Portable Document Format) and complete the included application form. Besides the application form, the package includes instructions, an order form, and a “white paper” — a short treatise that further explains the program, its history, and its technical aspects. (To read this PDF file, you will need Adobe Reader.)
Hundreds of products and dozens of manufacturers have already been approved under our Fixture Seal of Approval program.
