In recent years artificial light at night is increasingly recognized as a multifaceted problem that is expanding on a global scale. Astronomers were the first to criticize the loss of the dark star-filled night. In recent years biologists physicians and scientists from many other disciplines have joined the protest against light pollution. Scientists are observing the negative effects that artificial light is having on wildlife and our environment.Concerned citizens are complaining about lights in front of their homes and on their streets that are too cold or too white. Lighting designers are increasingly confronted with the issue as well. For this e-book we brought together experts from different countries and disciplines to discuss important aspects of light pollution. We also conducted an international survey in which we asked people from light-related industries to share their opinions and insights. The e-book sums up our findings and is designed to provide information and inspiration and serve as a tool for anyone who is concerned or confronted with light pollution.
