Reddening the nighttime environment: Use of PC‐amber LED lighting

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
The use of Phosphor‐converted amber (PC‐amber) LED lamps has been widely championed as a means of reducing the environmental impacts of the use of artificial light at night. Here we argue that evidence for the efficacy of PC‐amber LEDs in such reductions is presently limited and that these lamps should not be seen as a panacea for the environmental ...

Contrasting trends in light pollution across Europe based on satellite observed night time lights. [PDF]

, 2016
Since the 1970s nighttime satellite images of the Earth from space have provided a striking illustration of the extent of artificial light. Meanwhile, growing awareness of adverse impacts of artificial light at night on scientific astronomy, human health,

Dreamy Dwellings: How the Sleep Environment Affects Sleep Health in Adults—A Narrative Review

Lifestyle Medicine, Volume 6, Issue 4, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Sufficient high‐quality, well‐timed sleep is essential to health and physical, cognitive and emotional functions. Historically, environmental factors such as threats from other beings have likely constrained sleep. Newer sources of sleep disruption include modern work schedules, climate change, light pollution and noise pollution.

Negative Luminescence [PDF]

, 2017
The increasingly pervasive phenomenon of light pollution spans several different fields of concern, including the loss of the night sky, energy wastage, and the effects of artificial light on circadian rhythms and nocturnal ecology. Although the scale of

Night lights from space: potential of SDGSAT‐1 for ecological applications

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 495-509, October 2025.
Our study emphasizes the importance of advancing ALAN monitoring from space for ecology and conservation, and it highlights the novel opportunities of SDGSAT‐1. We discuss shortcomings that need to be resolved and identify promising avenues for sound ecological impact assessments of ALAN on ecosystems using space‐borne remote sensing.

Coral reef fish visual adaptations to a changing world

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 10, Page 2561-2572, October 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Coral reef ecosystems show fluctuations in their prevailing light environment in response to both regular (e.g. between seasons) and more prevalent stochastic events (e.g. human‐induced sediment runoff).

A low‐cost, highly flexible, open‐source setup design with digital LEDs for research on artificial light at night

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, Page 1948-1954, September 2025.
Abstract Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a global change factor of growing relevance, yet its impact on organisms remains poorly understood. Present studies point to rather negative impacts of ALAN on species and ecosystems. Most research on ALAN uses conventional LED technology without simulating the complex spatial and temporal facets of ALAN ...
