Ecological light pollution[edit]
- ... that even if LED street lighting produces less light overall it can still cause more ecological light pollution?

Source and date of creation are good, but I suggest replacing "if" with "though" because there's no doubt that LEDs produce less light and "overall" with "than conventional forms of lighting" to provide context. Smokeybjb (talk) 03:53, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

- As far as I know it really depends on the installation. Also, in former communist countries in the EU (particularly in rural areas) there is still a lot of 70's era lighting, and if that gets replaced by LEDs it's quite likely that the lights will be brighter. I like the change to the hook (somehow I forgot "conventional lighting"), but to be sure it's right everywhere (and to avoid a potential plug for the LED lighting industry on the front page) I would use the below.
