Addressing Light Pollution: Thinking Inside the BoxApril 24, 2009
Balancing public and private interests for nighttime lighting has been a difficult undertaking, as too little lighting may increase safety and security issues, while too much lighting may cause problems for the environment and for human well-being. Scientists at the LRC have developed the first-ever comprehensive method for predicting and measuring various aspects of light pollution.
The method, called Outdoor Site-Lighting Performance (OSP), allows users to quantify — and thus optimize — the performance of existing and planned lighting designs and applications to minimize excessive or obtrusive light leaving the boundaries of a property.
The LRC’s OSP measurement method is a powerful tool, allowing users to address three important aspects of light pollution — sky glow, light trespass, and discomfort glare — quantitatively and at the same time. The OSP method is not a luminaire labeling system but rather an engineering process that can be used with any commercial lighting software.
Join LRC Director and Professor Mark Rea, Ph.D., Senior Researcher John Bullough, Ph.D., and Research Scientist Jennifer Brons, M.S., as they share the techniques, philosophy, and experimental results surrounding this practical assessment tool.
