RemiBoucherRecently took nighttime pictures with the drone over Sherbrooke, Qc, Canada, for a #lightpollution project. So, here’s a picture of nicely lit bridge :
💡1800K amber LED, full cutoff
Mabel Angulo Rodríguez@remiboucher Beautiful view 😍😍
Andreas (Andy) Jechow@remiboucher good for astronomical #lightpollution but looks not ideal for aquatic #lightpollution I see reflections in the water

Trying to put lights that would produce absolutely no specular reflection would have probably mean drastically changing the height, location and amount of the light poles, which would have affected the limited space on the bridge (it’s already tight in terms of sidewalks, car lanes and bicycle lanes) and would have made the lighting conversion prohibitively expensive… which means lighting would not have been changed in the end.
