Stargazers rejoice, 'Dark Skies' legislation in Southampton Town has passed. The outdoor lighting battle has been waged since June, when local business owners and residents began debating over the merits of an unilluminated town. Not much will change with the law's passage, as only new lighting will have to comply with the more energy efficient, less glare-inducing code. Thankfully, holiday lights are exempt as well, so tree-trimmers, carry on. [SH Express]
