Three driving factors of landscape lighting, how to avoid light pollution?

  As cities landscape lighting After years of development in lighting, once urban lighting fixtures reached a certain demand, the form also transformed from the original single gas discharge lamps to large LED light sources, lasers, projections, and other forms and light states combining sound, light, and electricity. Based on the development of new future landscape lighting, three driving factors for the future of urban landscape lighting in China are analyzed:

  1. Night tourism economy. The night tourism economy has huge potential, and local investment momentum is sufficient. The night tourism economy is a time-based division of economic forms and is the development of the urban economy.SPA

  2. Further derivation of time and space. The urban economy has also become an important branch of urban construction and development. People's nighttime activities have further increased the demand for the development of the urban landscape lighting industry. The economic benefits of night tourism are considerable and have huge potential, attracting the attention of local governments, strengthening investment willingness, and related investments growing rapidly.SPA

  3. National major events. National major events have accelerated the demand for landscape lighting across the country. Through media dissemination, every national large-scale event showcased the beautiful night view of the city where the event took place to people nationwide, sparking local residents' yearning and promoting local governments' investment intentions. Major events in key cities in 2019 and 2020 will provide a catalyst for the sustainable development of landscape lighting.SPA

  4. Urban construction. The continuous advancement of urbanization has provided the original impetus for landscape lighting. In the future, China's urbanization rate may continue to maintain a stable growth trend. The construction of characteristic towns brings about a landscape lighting market space of approximately 100-450 billion. With the continuous advancement of urbanization, urban residents' demand for lighting has evolved from initial illumination to beauty.SPA

  Landscape lighting is gradually integrating into public life and becoming a necessity for urban development. Everything has two sides. The contribution of landscape lighting to urban development is inseparable, but its light pollution problem cannot be ignored. Is there no way to avoid light pollution caused by landscape lighting?SPA

  First, we must understand light pollution so that we can apply the right remedy.SPA

  Of light pollution classification:SPA

  Light pollution is generally divided into three categories: white light pollution, artificial daylight pollution, and colored light pollution.SPA

  White light pollution: When the sun is strong, decorative reflective light from urban buildings, such as glass curtain walls, glazed tile walls, polished marble, and various paints, is bright, white, and dazzling.SPA

  Artificial daylight: After night falls, advertising lights and neon signs on shopping malls and hotels are dazzling. Some strong light beams even shoot straight into the sky, making the night like day, which is called artificial daylight.SPA

  Colored light pollution: Black lights, rotating lights, fluorescent lights, and colored light sources installed in dance halls and KTVs constitute colored light pollution.SPA

  Artificial daylight is the main form of light pollution brought by landscape lighting. What people say is not that the night city is dazzling at night, but it will also have a certain impact on people's lives.SPA

  How to reduce light pollution?SPA

 Currently, we cannot completely eliminate or realize light pollution caused by landscape lighting. We can only say that we can reduce light pollution through technology and products. Strictly speaking, there are no strict standards in the landscape lighting industry standards, but protecting the environment is the responsibility of every industry. No standard does not mean there is no need to consider this issue.SPA

  First, control lighting by adjusting the direction and angle of illumination to reduce glare; additionally, reduce the occurrence of light pollution by controlling lighting time. The general public living in this city are the core beneficiaries of landscape lighting. If the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, there is no need for it to exist.SPA
