Our Mission
Idaho has world-renowned night skies; let’s protect that! We need to preserve Idaho’s unique natural beauty.
Blaring red lights are a detriment to our landscape and community. We will join the success of other communities using commercially available technologies to stop windmill light pollution for Idahoans.

The technology
An Aircraft Detection Lighting System (ADLS) is a sensor-based system that monitors the airspace around a site, detecting aircraft & activating obstruction lights only when aircraft are within a specified distance.

Frequently Asked
Questions you may have, answered!
How sure are we can succeed in implementing ADLS?
There is no plan B. End The Red Light District will do what it takes to insure the lights are off 95% of the night. The only unknown is how long it will take. See below for answer.
Is this state level or county level?
The short answer is both. There are many wind farms in Idaho either in the process of approval, approved, or starting the process. However, our first task is the closest one.
What happens to my money when I donate?
We will educate through Media. Buying Ads, Shirts, Billboards, maintaining website material, paying for Petition Signature website seat. We are Registered as a 5013c in Idaho. No board member is allowed to receive personal funds from fundraising.
Why isn’t ADLS mandatory for Idaho wind farms when other states have made it mandatory?
You should ask our representatives this question. Local and State.

Our goal is to have the largest shareholder and profit center pay to restore our night sky.
