If you work in this area (road safety, lighting specialists, ecologists) then please join our Knowledge Network (information below)
"Our research at Newcastle University was the first to show a direct link between street lighting and local insect declines"
A new European research initiative, SAFELUX – The Light We Need, is to transform how we light our roads at night. ⬇

The dark side of bright lights
LED light overuse is pushing brightness up 10% each year, faster than the global average, threatening wildlife, human life and the dark sky.
