We hope that the state government comes up with guidelines about setting the lights in every area in such a way where details about their intensity, direction, and gaps between the light poles are provided,” said Sumaira Abdulali, foun-der, Awaaz Foundation. It could lead to hormonal changes, sleep disturbance, irritability and disorientation among other adverse effects.The Asian Age had earlier reported in January 2018 that NGO Awaaz Foundation along with Nilesh Desai measured light levels in the unit of lux, facing the installed lights and on the seaward side of Marine Drive.While the light level recorded at Wilson gymkhana was 84,800 lux, there was an appallingly huge difference when facing the ip65 weatherproof batten factory light, and in the surrounding areas.

“We need to have a detailed policy on light [...]

In the second stage, the researchers create a structure that surrounds the filament.“The key advance was to design a photonic structure that transmits visible light and reflects infrared light for a very wide range of angles,” said one of the researchers, Ognjen Ilic.COM Published: Jan 17, 2016, 10:00 pm IST Updated: Jan 17, 2016, 10:00 pm IST The traditional incandescent light bulb may have been a massive boon to humanity since its development in the 19th century, but its extremely low energy efficiency has seen an international phase-out LIGHT-BULB-38-375X500.The challenge for the researchers was in finding a material capable of reflecting the infrared radiation while still allowing the visible light to shine through.Until that point, today’s energy-efficient bulbs are the way to go, say the researchers.While this isn’t yet as [...]
