Dear EarthTalk: Has anyone calculated the energy wasted at night by unnecessary lighting in and around buildings? What can we do to reduce our light footprint?Bill Rehkamp, via e-mail

Americans do squander a lot of electricity keeping things lit up at night while most of us sleep. This light blocks our view of the night sky and stars, creates glare hazards on roads, messes with our circadian sleep-wake rhythms, interrupts the patterns of nocturnal wildlife, and is by and large annoying. It also takes a financial toll: The federally funded National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO) reports that poorly-aimed, unshielded outdoor lights waste $2 billion (17 billion kilowatt-hours) of energy in the U.S. each year.

NOAO has monitored outdoor lighting levels across the U.S. and beyond for the past six years through its GLOBE at Night program whereby citizen-scientists track nearby outdoor lighting levels over a two-week period beginning in late March and submit their observations to NOAO electronically. A simple star map provided by NOAO is all that participants need to track their slice of sky. All it takes is a few minutes for a family to measure their night sky brightness by noting how many stars are missing from an easy-to-find constellation like Leo (in the northern hemisphere) or Crux (in the southern hemisphere), says GLOBE at Night project director Connie Walker. This tells us how much light is directed upwards into the sky.

Over the last six annual campaigns, participants from 100-plus countries have contributed almost 70,000 measurements, giving project organizers a detailed picture of light pollution globally. Unfortunately, analysis of the data shows that participants have seen brighter skies and fewer stars over time, meaning that light pollution is a growing problem. The free and publicly-accessible data gathered by the project is not only useful for educational purposes but can also help inform planners and policymakers on decisions about increasing public safety, reducing energy consumption and even identifying parks and green spaces that can serve as sky oases where city dwellers can appreciate the night sky from a safe, dark place.

According to the McDonald Observatorys Dark Skies Initiative (DSI), the solution to light pollution is 90 percent education and 10 percent technology. We can reclaim vast amounts of energy currently wasted inadvertently into the night sky...by using light fixtures that are shielded to reflect light down where it is needed, as well as using the smallest number of lights and lowest wattage bulbs necessary to effectively light an area, says DSI. Leading by example through the installation of downward-pointing outdoor light fixtures is a great place for home and building owners to start: Once people see it in action, and understand its implications for cost savings and enhanced visibility, they are far more likely to adopt good lighting practices on their own. Another group committed to reducing light pollution, the International Dark-Sky Association, maintains a list of distributors that sell approved fixtures to prevent light pollution.

Some cities have instituted standards to limit outdoor night lighting to protect citizens against unwanted light (or light trespass). The International Dark-Sky Association has developed a set of model lighting ordinances that cities and towns can adopt and modify to suit their needs accordingly. Also, the U.S. Green Building Council has incorporated a credit for buildings seeking to reduce the amount of light trespass and sky glow through its Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program.

Glare-Raising: How Much Energy Does Excessive Nighttime Lighting Waste?

FREEPORT, NY Sentry Electric, one of North Americas most experienced and knowledgeable manufacturers of outdoor luminaires, announced that Architectural SSL Magazine has selected the companys SRL-LED Roadway Luminaire as a recipient of a 2014 Product Innovation Award. The SRL-LED luminaire is featured in the magazines February 2014 edition and in their e newsletter, SSL Online.

Sentry Electrics winning product, the SRL-LED Roadway Luminaire provides time-proven design for streets and boulevards while its innovative optics deliver the many benefits associated with solid state lighting technology. Most notably, users will realize a reduction in energy consumption, maintenance, downtime, and various costs associated with todays sustainable initiatives.

The SRL-LED luminaires unique combination of refractive borosilicate glass optics and LED modules is a groundbreaking advance in the evolution of solid state technology used for street and area lighting. Said one judge, Its unique look is so different than what weve seen before in roadway luminaires. I like the modularity.

The SRL-LEDs downward facing LEDs have an unobstructed path to the illuminated surface, providing a highly efficacious result of 92.9 lumens per watt. This performance exceeds or rivals most architectural as well as non-decorative roadway/area luminaires from around the industry.

The LED light engine is a Bridgelux Vero 18 module, which utilizes chip-on-board (COB) design to optimize performance while minimizing the size of the light emitting surface area. This allows for the integration with lenses and mini-reflectors to control optical distribution. With 80 CRI and 3SDCM consistency, visibility of the illuminated surface is improved as compared to most traditional high intensity discharge (HID) light sources.

The SRL-LED luminaire is highly resistant to damage, weather and the passage of time. With its high-strength cast aluminum structure and borosilicate glass optics, it is able to withstand the rigors associated with roadway lighting. When side-mounting, an optional twist lock receptacle on the top of the luminaire allows for the attachment of a receptacle photo control.

The Award Process:

The Product Innovation Awards determine and honor the most innovative LED and solid-state luminaires and fixtures on the market, while also recognizing the players behind the components that make up these light sources. Winners were chosen among fifteen individual product categories. A panel of sixteen judges, who hail from all walks in the lighting industry, scored the products for a variety of attributes. The judges subjective comments were an additional component of product scoring. Sentry Electrics award was in the category for area lighting.

About Architectural SSL:

Architectural SSL, with over 29,500 subscribers, targets sales-critical members of the specification value-chain including architects, lighting designers, electrical engineers, electrical contractors, government officials, and building owners/developers who have actively expressed interest in solid state technologies. It is a publication of Construction Business Media, which is headquartered in Chicago, IL. Other publications include Architectural Products, Illuminate, and Net Zero Buildings.

Sentry Electric's SRL-LED Roadway Luminaire Recognized with 2014 Product Innovation Award

Madison, VA (PRWEB) March 04, 2014

Traditional path lights may leave a garden yawning, but when it comes to Wind & Weathers spring collection of solar outdoor lighting, the yard will be ready for guests and visitors to drop in at any moment.

Wind & Weathers path light collection produces zero carbon emissions, making them a stylish, sustainable choice for landscapers and homeowners. In the article How Can I Reduce My Impact?, the EPA states using less energy means power plants generate less, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions and improves air quality.

A U.S. leader in solar LED outdoor lighting, SOL, Inc.s blog article Safety and Sustainability Through Solar Lighting states the demand of electricity is expected to increase by 18 percent while generation capacity is predicted to grow by only 6 percent. Adding solar path lights to a home are an obvious and easy choice, because the lights produce 100 percent of their own electricity, therefore eliminating the cost of the consumer, and the planet, to power them.

Birgitt Thornhill, Product Manager of Wind & Weather, is very excited about this new eco-friendly lighting collection. Here at Wind & Weather, we specialize in whimsy. We try to bring enchantment to the yard in all forms. I chose and developed these products to give traditional garden path lighting an irresistible, whimsical appeal.

Try these three styles of solar path lights to enhance an outdoor living space with a more eco-friendly design:

1. Hand-Blown Solar Lava Lanterns Artfully hanging from a tree, shepherds hook or sitting on a garden wall, these beehive-shaped lanterns add a pop of color to your outdoor oasis during the day and deliver a color-changing, LED glow at night. These swirled glass lanterns also make unique table centerpieces for backyard BBQs or spring parties.

2. Enchanting Butterfly Solar Lanterns With Shepherds Hooks This pair of lanterns, found only at Wind & Weather is easy to install in any flowerbed or lawn. Our Butterfly Lanterns combine a classic design with a whimsical look. Inspired by traditional punched tin lanterns, this solar lighting is durable enough to light your pathways or walkways year-round.

3. Glass Solar Rose or Spider Flower Stakes Exquisitely detailed, these solar roses and spider flowers will safely illuminate your garden paths, patio walkways or homes entryway while serving as conversational outdoor accents. The lifelike blooms, crafted of glass, are supported by a metal garden stakes and release a white LED glow in the dark.
