Back in April, I posted about BUG (Backlight, Uplight, Glare), a new classification system for outdoor light fixtures currently being promoted by the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA).
Based on the TM-15–the upgrade of the roadway shielding classification system by the Illuminating Engineering Society and the Lighting Research Center–BUG addresses light emitted from the fixture in all directions, not just up into the sky.
Click here to access links to BUG and read some good conversation about it in the Comments, which are running negative it.
What do you think? The Comments registered with me as part of a thought I’ve been having lately: Is lighting starting to get too complicated? (Or am I just getting old?)
