Enhancing Nighttime Vision: A Guide to Outdoor Lighting
Summary:
The main reason people install outdoor lighting is simple: to see better at night. Ironically, the fixtures we select often impede our vision rather than improve it. Sadly, poorly chosen outdoor lighting is more common than you might think.The Problem with Glare:
Most people select outdoor light fixtures based on daytime aesthetics, neglecting their nighttime performance. The popular brass and glass fixtures, for instance, tend to emit light horizontally rather than downward, directing brightness straight into your eyes. This does nothing to enhance visibility.This issue is known as glare?"a form of light pollution caused by stark contrasts between bright and dark areas. Glare affects drivers and pedestrians, potentially leading to accidents.
A Call for Change:
Surprisingly, the very lights meant to improve visibility can do the opposite if poorly selected. Lighting manufacturers should rethink their products to avoid these "glare bombs." Thankfully, more efficient and safer alternatives are available on the market.Many communities are adopting regulations that require fixtures to direct light downward. This not only improves nighttime vision but also allows for clearer views of the night sky. Hopefully, such ordinances will become more widespread?"perhaps your community is considering it too.
Conclusion:
By choosing the right outdoor lighting, you can enhance nighttime visibility while also cutting costs and preserving the beauty of the night sky.
