It is for the environment and energy saving! And call it Obtrusive lighting.
My thoughts exactly. If you mention "light pollution" most people will think you are just doing it for yourself as they don't even know that light pollution exists. If the main argument is to save energy, and it can be backed up with figures, you would be more likely to succeed! Or if the lighting produces less glare, making it safer for driving you are also on a winner. Darker skies is just a side effect...
