| 摘要： | Night-time illumination is a necessity of modern life in many urban settings. Street lighting and other forms of illumination help improve safety by allowing pedestrians and drivers to identify hazards. Effective lighting in public areas also helps enhance locations and provides a sense of security at night. However, light pollution and the broader impact of light on our environment cannot be ignored. It has become clear that excessive artificial light at night along with cooler colour temperatures can affect the natural behaviours of nocturnal species such as bats, in some cases causing a decline in their numbers. Recent studies also indicated that incorrectly designed lighting is having a serious impact on crucial insect species. |
