	As an amateur astronomer, I'm all for lights out programs, as well!

	Go for it! Sounds like a natural campaign and would raise people's understanding of birds, migration, habitat, etc. in general. I like the idea. First thing is probably to assemble convincing evidence that turning down the lights reduced mortality. Don't know the literature, but shouldn't be hard especially considering radio tower work. Go for it!

	in addition, it would be a GREEN thing to do.... but I wonder about aviation and if there are issues with flights...
