  1. When cities transition to LED streetlights, the results can sometimes worsen urban skyglow. But it does not have to be that way. Our latest post compares three global cities that successfully modernized their public lighting while drastically reducing light pollution.

    Tucson proved the value of reducing total lumen output to avoid the rebound effect. Vienna demonstrated that strict optical shielding and zero upward light can cut streetlight skyglow by 75 percent over a decade. Metz pioneered ecological spectral management, using ultra-warm 1000 K LEDs and smart sensors to protect river wildlife.

    A glowing yellow YIELD sign cuts through the darkness like a solitary performer on stage, casting warm light across empty spaces and parked cars, and suddenly you’re thinking about cinema and loneliness and how good urban photography is basically just about finding the drama hiding in everyday places.

    I love photographing car parks. Great views from the top floor, and interesting urban furniture and lighting inside.

  17. Sharing some good news from #Devon. Devon County Council have been proactive in implementing part-night lighting and dimming in their #streetlighting installation. This has come with sizeable monetary and carbon savings, but also reduces the temporal and spatial extent of #ALAN across Devon, likely reducing ecological pressure on organisms at nighttime.
