A City of Vancouver councillor wants to limit outdoor light at night to minimize the reportedly detrimental effects on both humans and animals. On Tuesday, council unanimously passed a motion by the Non-Partisan Associations Elizabeth Ball to have the city develop recommendations for an outdoor lighting strategy, which would preserve dark sky, and reduce light pollution in the city.

In her motion, Ball said research shows bright lights at night can disturb the bodys circadian rhythms, disrupt hormone secretions and weaken the immune system. She said studies show it can also interfere with the flight of migratory birds, so the city should work to avoid light spill and make sure we do not trespass with outside light.

Until the turn of the 19th century, evening brought an end to many of mankinds activities, she wrote in the motion. She said that current lighting conditions go beyond the basic requirement of providing illumination simply for the task at hand.

Ball does not advocate for an outright ban on lights at night. Her motion suggests that the strategy permit the use of outdoor lighting with reference to the minimum levels specified by the [Illuminating Engineering Society] recommended practices for nighttime safety, utility, security, productivity, enjoyment and commerce.

Vision Vancouver Counc. Heather Deal, who spoke in support of the motion, said that the city needs to make sure that were not needlessly leaking light into the night skies, and spoke about the potential benefit for stargazers. Mayor Gregor Robertson also voiced his support of the motion and said it was an issue people often asked council to take action on.

In 1991, Ball was hit in the head and knocked out by a chandelier that fell in a lighting store. It is unclear whether the incident was related in any way with her dark-sky motion.

We take it for granted that outdoor lights are there to help keep America moving after the sun goes down. But the outdoor lighting when you drive your car down the road at night, cheer for your favorite baseball team, or load groceries into your car after work uses energy and takes a bite out of budgets in cities and towns across the country.

Outdoor lighting in the U.S. will consume enough energy to power 6 million homes this year, costing cities about $10 billion annually.

That is why we are working with mayors to deploy the latest technologies to determine how best to light their cities while saving money. Using today's new technologies, local governments can cut their outdoor lighting bills by 50 percent or more. Today we are launching the Presidential Challenge for Advanced Outdoor Lighting, and tripling the DOE Better Buildings program goal of upgrading 500,000 poles to 1.5 million, to encourage more mayors to lead their cities with this win-win solution.

Through the Better Buildings Outdoor Lighting Accelerator, the Presidential Challenge for Advanced Outdoor Lighting will work with dozens of municipalities to accelerate the adoption and use of high-efficiency outdoor lighting, driving carbon pollution reductions in communities across the nation. Given that streetlight systems can account for up to 60 percent of a citys electric utility bill, more are taking advantage of the savings that come with upgrading outdoor lighting.

LED light bulbs are an example of a lighting success story that, when taken to the streets, makes a lot of sense. The technology has rapidly improved over the past several years, and the price has dropped. As the technology advances, communities are installing LEDs, and showcasing market acceptance and satisfaction with the technology. Some communities are showing even greater energy savings as much as 70 percent more with lighting controls. Together with new light bulbs, advanced lighting systems are paying off.

We are excited to recognize the cities stepping up to the Presidents Outdoor Lighting Challenge. Through the Better Buildings Outdoor Lighting Accelerator, we are combining the technical expertise at the Energy Department with the shared experiences across a network of leading cities which you can be a part of to accelerate the deployment of highly efficient lighting, while helping you realize energy and cost savings for your communities.

Dan Utech is the Deputy Assistant to the President for Energy and Climate Change.

Launching the Presidential Challenge for Advanced Outdoor Lighting

Renton, WA (PRWEB) January 23, 2015

LED lighting manufacturer Evluma announces that the DesignLights Consortium (DLC) has listed its upgraded AreaMax outdoor area security light product. The recent upgrades include integrated photocontrol and anti-corrosion coastal materials options, and a new sleeker, lighter housing that increases the products overall architectural appeal and ease of installation.

DLC certification is the nationally recognized gold standard for outdoor lighting products, said Keith Miller, CEO of Evluma. Many utilities, both large and small, require that products deployed in their networks be listed on the DLC Qualified Products List (QPL).

In order to be listed by the DLC, luminaires are tested according to light output in lumens, wattage, efficacy (lumens/watt - a measure of how efficient the source is in converting electricity to light), CRI (color rendering index a measure of how a light source can accurately reflect the true colors of an object), and CCT (color temperature a measure of how the color looks to the eye). Thermal stress testing results are also submitted for DLC qualification. By reviewing the numbers for a particular lighting product, and comparing products (which is possible via the DLC website http://www.designlights.org), customers can make an informed choice as to which luminaires will serve their needs from a technical perspective.

About Evluma Formed in 2008, Evluma is committed to developing affordable, long-lasting and environmentally low impact LED lighting solutions that fundamentally change the landscape of the outdoor utility lighting market. Because of the initial market success of AreaMax, Evluma moved in July, 2014 to a new lean manufacturing facility in Renton, Wash., increasing the companys production capacity fivefold. Lean methodologies enable Evluma to deliver larger volumes of high quality products with shorter lead times.

AreaMax is a recognized winner of the 2013 NGL Outdoor Solid-State Lighting Design Competition in the Local Residential Roadway Category.

About the DLC The DesignLights Consortium (DLC) is a project of Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships (NEEP), a regional non-profit founded in 1996 whose mission is to serve the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic to accelerate energy efficiency in the building sector through public policy, program strategies and education. The DLC promotes quality, performance and energy efficient commercial sector lighting solutions through collaboration among its federal, regional, state, utility, and energy efficiency program members; luminaire manufacturers; lighting designers and other industry stakeholders throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Over its 14 year history the DLC program has driven the lighting market towards innovation by providing information, education, tools and technical expertise for cutting edge technologies. Since 2010, the DLC has administered the Qualified Products List (QPL), a leading resource that distinguishes quality, high efficiency LED products for the commercial sector. Today, the QPL sets the bar for efficiency program incentives across the U.S. and Canada while informing manufacturer product development.
