Dawn - The first thing, there are no rigorous data that indicate more "public" lighting equals less crime. Not that any of this is applicable, but in the People's Republic of Boulder, Colorado I happened to be on the city Planning Board at the time the city placed a huge shroud on the lights of Boulder. Where I live, there is minimal street lighting and it's very dark. Dog walkers and pedestrians use flashlights. Lights must have sconces that reduce the amount of light that escapes upward/outward and focuses the light downward. Even on our private community property, the sidewalk lights focus the light downward. We have lighting on the outdoor stairways that are positioned under the bannisters. There are engineering companies that specialize in lighting. I suggest that during your due diligence process you contact one to ask them about the best type of lighting for your particular community. In a rural area, I would think that light pollution would be particularly noticeable. People live in sparsely populated areas, in part, because of the dark skies.
