Question 1

What is Over illuminated?

Accepted Answer

Over-illumination refers to the excessive brightness of light beyond what is necessary. This condition is primarily caused by the wasteful and unnecessary use of energy. Over-illumination is not essential for specific spaces, tasks, or activities, and it can lead to physiological discomfort such as glare, fatigue, and anxiety, resulting in a sense of unease. Additionally, over-illumination has negative impacts on the environment, such as increased energy consumption, carbon emissions, and light pollution.

Question 2

What are the several types of light pollution?

Accepted Answer

There are four other types of light pollution: glare, light trespass, skyglow, and clutter. Glare refers to excessive brightness that causes visual discomfort (e.g., while driving). Light trespass is the bright, confusing, and excessive combination of light sources that intrudes into areas where it is not needed (e.g., road lighting, building lighting, billboards). Skyglow and clutter refer to light that is cast into the sky or other areas where it is not necessary, such as onto buildings or into the night sky.

Question 3

What are the effects of excessive lighting?

Accepted Answer

The excessive illumination has negative impacts on human health as it disrupts the biological clock and circadian rhythms, potentially leading to disruptions in hormone regulation, headaches, fatigue, and anxiety, among other issues. Additionally, over-illumination can result in light reflecting into living spaces, affecting sleep quality and causing sleep disorders.

Apart from its effects on human health, over-illumination also leads to increased energy consumption. It causes unnecessary wastage of energy, contributing to higher energy expenses. Furthermore, over-illumination contributes to light pollution in the sky, disrupting the observation of dark skies and visibility of stars. These factors have detrimental effects on the ecological environment.
