Minnesota requires new or replacement state-funded outdoor lighting, including on state highways, to use cutoff luminaires above 1,800 lumens and only the minimum illumination needed, weighing energy savings and light pollution, with waivers if it raises costs too much. It applies to state agencies and local governments using state funds, not to private lighting generally.
