(A) Any luminaire with a lamp or lamps rated at a total of 1800 lumens or less and all flood or spot luminaires with a lamp or lamps rated at 900 lumens or less may be used without restriction to light distribution or mounting height, except that if any spot or flood luminaire rated 900 lumens or less is aimed, directed or focused so as to cause direct light from the luminaire to be directed toward residential buildings on adjacent or nearby land or to create glare perceptible to persons operating motor vehicles on public ways, the luminaire shall be redirected or its light output controlled as necessary to eliminate such conditions.
(B) Luminaires used for public roadway illumination may be installed at a maximum height of 25 feet and may be positioned at that height up to the edge of any bordering property.
(C) All temporary emergency lighting needed by the Police, the Fire Departments or other emergency services, as well as all vehicular luminaires, shall be exempt from the requirements of this subchapter.
(D) All hazard warning luminaires required by Federal regulatory agencies are exempt from the requirements of this subchapter, except that all luminaires used must be red and must be shown to be as close as possible to the federally required minimum lumen output requirement for the specific task.
(E) Luminaires used primarily for sign illumination may be mounted at any height to a maximum of 25 feet regardless of lumen rating.
(F) Where any provision of federal, state, or county or city statute, ordinance, or regulation conflicts with any provision of this subchapter, the most restrictive shall govern unless otherwise regulated by law.
(G) Spot lighting may be used to illuminate a building, sign or flag, or flood lighting for temporary backyard, driveway or security purposes, provided such lights do not cause glare perceptible from the street or light trespass upon neighboring property greater than 1 footcandle.
