This 2007 publication discusses the three elements of light pollution, which are sky glow, light trespass, and glare, and gives examples and recommendations for minimizing or eliminating the undesirable effects of each element when designing and using outdoor lighting.

The LRC developed Outdoor Site (Lighting) Performance, or OSP, a framework for quantifying light pollution from an installation. OSP is the first comprehensive, quantitative system of assessing light pollution based upon the concept that property owners should be able to meet their lighting design objectives while adhering to light pollution regulations set by their communities. OSP uses a calculation ‘shoe box’ that follows the boundaries of a property and a top plane.
