New Jersey S1635 requires outdoor lighting fixtures installed or replaced by, or on behalf of, a State agency, or at projects receiving State funds, to meet certain criteria. These criteria include using fully shielded luminaires with a full cutoff fixture, ensuring the luminaires have a backlight, uplight, and glare (BUG) rating of U0, and emitting no more than two percent of their total lumen output above 80 degrees from nadir. The fixtures must also use a motion sensor device that automatically adjusts the light as appropriate.
