Now imagine all the street lamps that are also turned on. Imagine all the light sources that are turned on, dusk to dawn. Not for 5 seconds. All-night.
How can this be so underrated?
This is a clear example of a major #impact caused by a "convenience", not a necessity.

It questions the high public investment in road lighting when that supposed benefit is not verified, & recalls the impacts of #luzartificial at night.
