Description
The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) has published LSD 55-2010 “Outdoor Lighting and Human/Animal Factors: An Industry Opinion”—a white paper outlining industry concerns and opinions regarding the subject of light at night and outdoor electric lighting as related to humans, animals, energy conservation and the environment.
Developed by the NEMA Lighting Systems Division, LSD 55 also includes recommendations, such as luminaire shielding to curtail excessive uplight, glare and light trespass. The division asserts “that public policy affecting lighting should be based on scientific evidence, not opinions or conjecture”.
