Photopollution or light pollution is one of the bad effects on natural ecosystems. However, this danger can also be reduced by increasing lighting practices to provide nighttime visibility and security.
Here are a few simple tips to help reduce light pollution without sacrificing comfort or safety of the community, as reported by the Dalmarfans website on Wednesday (03/06/2019).
1. Use CFL Lights
Use compact fluorescent lights (CFL) and LED lights that produce warm white lighting. Many LED lights emit blue light with short wavelengths that spread easily into the atmosphere, which causes eye fatigue, damages night vision and adds light pollution.
2. Protect the Lamp
Choose shielded outdoor lighting, meaning there is a solid lid on a light bulb that prevents light from being transmitted directly into the sky. This is to minimize sky pollution and can protect existing equipment by buying and installing affordable colors.
