With the rapid social and economic development, light also becomes an essential element of human survival like water and air. However, light pollution has become a serious environmental problem. Light pollution can affect the rhythm of plant growth, resulting abnormal growth in different seasons. It also hurts the insects and animals as well as human being by imposing obvious effects on the biological clock, leading to various diseases and psychological problems. Light pollution can also cause a waste of national energy, thus many countries have initiated low-carbon economy to overcome it. Despite advancement in raveling light pollution in the natural sciences, light pollution legislation has not yet been proposed. The laws with respect to controlling light pollution has not promulgated yet in China, and some of the existing laws such as Constitution, Civil Law, the Environmental Protection Law do not specifically mention this issue. This reality results in the fact that no law could be followed in the light pollution prevention and its damage dispute. In this situation, to make it legal and standardized, a special "Light Pollution Prevention and Control Law" is urgent to be proposed for the establishment of Light Pollution Prevention and Control legislative system in China.Combined with the characteristics of light pollution and China's national conditions, China's light pollution prevention has been summarized on basis of the legislative status of domestic and international light pollution prevention in the present work. The legislative necessity of light pollution prevention has been emphasized from the current situation of China's light pollution prevention actions, the current administrative structure and legislative status and defects. According to the advanced practice and experience in the abroad light pollution prevention legislation, the feasibility of light pollution legislation in China has been discussed, and we proposed our innovative ideas for light pollution prevention legislation.
