The award recognizes lighting designs that are free of glare, use optimal levels of light, are energy-efficient, and provide pleasant ambience with minimal obtrusive light and contribution to sky glow. Lights that are fully shielded and well spaced keep light where it is directed, minimizing light pollution.

PURPOSE Mild cataracts can interfere with visually dependent everyday activities, although they only minimally affect static visual acuity. This study compared the effects of simulated cataracts with that of optical blur on driving performance and determined the extent to which acuity could account for variations in driving performance either alone or in combination with supplementary vision te...

Worldwide, road-users complain about glare from oncoming cars’ headlights, often blaming new light sources such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs). However, drivers’ own behavior and attitudes might contribute to the issue of glare. The aim this research was establish prevalence on-road its associations with in a sample Czech drivers. We used an online survey gained responses 539 passenger-car-dri...

The adaptation of clinical guidelines to specific contexts is a fundamental task to promote guideline dissemination and use. Several aspects of contextualization need to be faced, including the adaptation of guidelines to local resource availability and (for computer-based guideline approaches) to local software environment. We show how a computer-based approach can help in such a challenging t...

Many marine species beyond the glare of fishing quotas are in decline and no more so than in the Mediterranean.

LED lighting technology has been advancing quite rapidly and it used in sports facilities. characteristics such as a small light emitting part high directionality, which may cause glare. JIS recommendation for does not provide the recommended value glare gymnasiums. In Part 1 of this paper, measurements illuminance luminance distribution were carried out eleven gymnasiums (six with five HID lig...
