LUNA lights are hooded and warmer to save more energy, reduce light pollution and spread light coverage.
A Boston nonprofit is approaching lighting solutions with more than just your electricity bill in mind. It also wants to save the birds.
The Design Light Consortium launched its Light Usage in Night Applications program (LUNA) in 2021 in an effort to both reduce light pollution and the cost of energy for consumers. The LUNA product line uses warmer light, which refracts in the atmosphere less than blue light emitted from LEDs.
According to the company, stadium lighting may ramp up to a correlated color temperature of 7,000, meaning its blueish white and very bright. By comparison, the lights in the LUNA line max out at 3,000 CCT, which correlates to a warmer and more yellow light, but provides less coverage.
