Research Shows that Streetlights Contribute Less to Nighttime Light Emissions in Cities than Expected
Research Shows that Streetlights Contribute Less to Nighttime Light Emissions in Cities than Expected When satellites take pictures of Earth at night, how much of the light that they see comes from streetlights? A team of scientists from Germany, the USA, and Ireland have answered this question for the first time using the example of the U.S. city of Tucson, thanks to "smart city" lighting technology that allows cities to dim their lights. The result: only around 20 percent of the light in the satellite images of Tucson comes from streetlights. The study is published today in the journal "Lighting Research & Technology". Read more »
