Refracted light in the atmosphere does cause problems for “stargazers” - more so because there are no clouds, (hence more stargazers), and the pollution is spread over a wider area.

Just because the light isn’t being reflected downwards and sideways and isn’t visible from the ground does not mean that it isn’t causing just as much light pollution and isn’t just as energy wasteful. The light is simply being refracted over a much larger area.

As well as those who haven’t signed! I accept that, as stated, the club can’t limit the use of the lights but significantly there is no mention of any investigation regards limiting the impact the lights are having, (such as covers).

I agree - but it won’t help get more action against the pollution being caused at other sites by disregarding the light pollution coming from our club. Isn’t the answer more awareness of light pollution in general and taking steps to reduce this. The biggest light, noise and air polluter near...

I don’t know what steps Brighton are taking but many councils are taking light pollution seriously. Sodium lights are being replaced, lamp posts are being redesigned and lights are being switched off. In any case what sort of argument is it to say that others are causing pollution therefore...

Grass growing lights are mounted on wheeled frames just a foot or so above the ground. I don’t understand why they are left as open frames rather than having a reflective cover over the top - this would reduce the light pollution as well as directing more of the light where it is needed, on...
