1001 Ways To Kill-A-Light!

You've heard the Paul Simon song, 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover, right? Do you remember what the first way is? "You just slip out the back, Jack!" Well, Ol' Jack isn't about to slip out the back on this light pollution fight! Nope, he's gonna stay, and remain in your face!

So, now, what we need to do is come up with 1001 ways to turn out a light, well, OK, kill a light! Of course, every astronomer has already thought of, and in cases acted on, the old saw: "Shoot it out with a gun!" Not something I've ever advocated, not that it'd work all that well anymore because so many fixtures are so tough the bullet would just bounce off...Ping!

Please e-mail me with 1 or 1000 silly or serious ways to Kill-A-Light! You may remain anonymous or credited.

1. Don't buy a fixture to light an area when the area doesn't even need lighting. Stargeezer in SC

2. Chainsaw a light pole! No, wait, that makes too much noise. Cut it down with a regular saw! Silent, secretive, stealthy! Lawrence (not the real name), an astronomer in Arizona, who says he's / she's (?) actually done it!
