México City at Night 2005
Light pollution, also known as photo pollution or
luminous pollution, is excessive or obtrusive
artificial light.
Light pollution
 Light pollution is a broad term that
refers to multiple problems, all of
which are caused by inefficient,
unappealing, or (arguably)
unnecessary use of artificial light.
Specific categories of light
pollution include light trespass,
over-illumination, glare, light
clutter, and sky glow. A single
offending light source often falls
into more than one of these
categories.
An example of a light pollution source,
using a broad spectrum
metal halide lamp, pointing
upward in Uniqema Gouda, the Netherlands.
This time exposure photo of New York City at night shows sky
glow, one form of light pollution.

Light pollution vastly
reduces the visibility
of stars.

Effects on animal and human health
1. increased headache incidence
2. worker fatigue
3. medically defined stress
4. increase in anxiety
5. animal models have been studied demonstrating
unavoidable light to produce adverse effect on mood
and anxiety
 Reducing light pollution implies
many things, such as reducing
sky glow, reducing glare,
reducing light trespass, and
reducing clutter. The method for
best reducing light pollution,
therefore, depends on exactly
what the problem is in any given
instance. Possible solutions
include:
 Utilizing light sources of
minimum intensity necessary to
accomplish the light's purpose.
Reducing light pollution
Reducing light pollution
 Turning lights off using a timer or
occupancy sensor or manually
when not needed.
 Improving lighting fixtures, so
that they direct their light more
accurately towards where it is
needed, and with less side effects.
 Adjusting the type of lights used,
so that the light waves emitted are
those that are less likely to cause
severe light pollution problems.
 Evaluating existing lighting plans,
and re-designing some or all of the
plans depending on whether
existing light is actually needed. A flat-lens cobra luminaire, which is a full-
cutoff fixture,may be effective in reducing
light pollution. It ensures
that light is
only directed below the
horizontal, which means less light is
wasted
through directing it outwards and upwards.

  • 3. Light pollution  Light pollution is a broad term that refers to multiple problems, all of which are caused by inefficient, unappealing, or (arguably) unnecessary use of artificial light. Specific categories of light pollution include light trespass, over-illumination, glare, light clutter, and sky glow. A single offending light source often falls into more than one of these categories. An example of a light pollution source, using a broad spectrum metal halide lamp, pointing upward in Uniqema Gouda, the Netherlands.
  • 4. This time exposure photo of New York City at night shows sky glow, one form of light pollution. Light pollution
  • 5. Light pollution A comparison of the view of the night sky from a small rural town (top) and a metropolitan area (bottom). Light pollution vastly reduces the visibility of stars.
