Sadly some more poorly written articles. Other entymologists ahve found less draw from LEDs than other current luminaires - and as the LEDs do not have a heat output they do not kill the insects. Midges swarming around a lampost - is that bad? A moth laying eggs on a ship - WOW And the new scientist is getting poor - GLARE cannot shine through a window - it is a measure of the ratio of luminance between the task and the glare source - so a poor use of the wording, which makes the rest of what he writes kind of less credible. I completely agree with the shielding and dimming - but if only an article would discuss this point without the rest of the rubbish! James |
