Unintended Consequences: Adjusting LED Lighting Design

On December 6, 2017 in All, Lighting by Paul Golata

As engineers, we need to ensure that future lighting designs make greater use of external shielding and electronic controls to optimize when, where, and how much light is displayed. Our design goals will subsequently reflect not just attention to the raw light output, but how the light is properly contextually bracketed to meet the needs of the biological environment—human, animal, and plant—to also minimize light pollution.
