The Clean Neighbourhoods & Environment Act makes provisions for fines of up to 20,000 for organisations (and up to 5,000 for individuals) who fail to manage light pollution. Light pollution is defined as excessive, inefficient and irresponsible lighting that shines where it is not wanted nor needed. Planners are increasingly taking issues of light pollution into account in making planning consent decisions. Because they are highly directional, using unique (patent-pending) Adaptive IlluminationTM technology, Clear Image/Raytec illuminators are perfect for use in minimising light pollution.
