  • The impact of lighting on the environment
  • Outdoor light fixtures that are shielded to "round up your stray light"
  • Keys to good lighting:
    Contrast, but not too much
    Uniformity, but not too much
    Enough light, but not too much
    No glare!
    No "light pollution"
    No "light trespass"
    No "sky glow"

Created by a group of artists, this site offers a means whereby children, teens and adults living with XP and other related photosensitivities, and their families, can come together without geography, or light, being a barrier.   The site strives to provide a fun-filled place that incorporates activities through which participants can gain some relief from the confines and restraints that this disease places upon them; a place where others can learn tolerance and understanding of people with special needs; and a place where there is an overall feeling of community.
