PeacesLED lights are meant to save energy. They’re creating glaring problems
burningquestionArticle explains solution – we’re accustomed to buying light bulbs based on watt usage, but in reality, with LED’s, the power savings are good enough compared to earlier technologies you should focus more on lumen output and the type of light output you’re getting.
Chelan installed lights that were at least 30% brighter than what they had before, and they didn’t feel the need to look closely at what they were buying because look at the power savings!!! That’s why they experienced an increase in light pollution
I think a lot of it is also that we never bothered to use the switch to LED streetlights to fix the design issues with streetlights as a whole. So many of them are designed with no real care in their directionality. They are there to light downwards but make no efforts to minimise any directed up. A lot could be done to mitigate the effects with a better design focus to limit the lighting only to where required.
