THE

GUIDELINES FOR THE REDUCTION OF THE LUMINANCE OF THE SKY
Bad news


As already announced on this site come bad news on the future of the luminance of the sky.
Astronomers said they were contrary to the Norm CIE TC 4-21 of the current standard Norm CIE 126.
International Astronomers say that the new version is worse than the previous year and does not protect astronomy.
As always stated on our website and as confirmed by Italian astronomers and amateur astronomers, including at the international Elizabeth Alvarez del Castillo and other astronomers have expressed strong negative opinions on lighting a LED emitting a luminous flux in the blue too (also in white we add ).
Strong concerns were raised on the models used by the Commission and the cities that they would not behave as diffusive light sources.
The Commission's responses were generally negative.
What is most surprising, and that surprises us in the fight against light pollution in Italy is the certainty of the Boards of lighting that we saw as defeated in the "light" is a matter also of others, it is the daily bread of astronomers and amateur astronomers .
Know and we announced that the placing on the market for LEDs will try to give the final blow to astronomy and that is why we must fight as we did for the Italian regional laws.
 

ANALYSIS OF THE MAXIMUM OF THE NORM CIE TC 4-21, ON THE  LED, ON THE GROUNDS OF ASTRONOMY

Up to now, the luminance of the sky is governed by the standard Norm CIE 126, 1997, in practice a rule of thumb that divided the territory into quality zones: dark, suburban, urban residential and commercial and wanted to contain the light emitted by household with values of 0 5 10 25%! just looking at these values in part comparable with some allowed by the standard Italian Norm UNI 10819, which raises the question of protection as we speak.
Now you try to give a scientific value to the new standard but many of the contents or templates are rebuttable or statements or opinions totally opposed to those of the committee.
On energy savings we have not because it is the dog that bites its tail and 2 times! In fact now the LED are not comparable as the luminous efficiency and the best lamps but have an emission spectrum mainly in white and blue, quite untenable for astronomy.
On the calculation of the light emitted upward, reflecting etc.. there are practical applications (conducted by the AAMT Civitavecchia Roma Italy and also featured on this site internet) have shown that almost get the facts and no theoretical model can be taken as a model against a practical demonstration.
The design limitations imposed by TC 4-21 as a result of theoretical studies is based on an R% <= 3%, then the standard is compared to some outlaw regional Italian law, it appears that in very much regions of Italy can not be applied .
In the city there are a lot of reflections but the model of the city diffondend is not acceptable because not satisfactory and is contrary to the experience, in fact the De Castillo has refuted it and go see the pictures of cities (see Rome photo index page of this site internet) for practically refute this model or the absolute certainty of such a model.
So all this is confirmed that the astronomical world is right, but their commissions are appointed / technically legalized by the institutions and the European Commission, there is no reason why must be the lighting or some better lighting to determine the future world of astronomy, the starry sky and the environment.
It seems that the LEDs are the gospel but cost 10 times shielded road equipment !
Models, repeat do not count because no clash with the experience Galilean and the astronomers know the experience.
We invite several professors, members of international committees in Europe and national travel by night in the open countryside and see how a light source white / blue overhang and the other spectra is annoying for the human eye and then to Astronomy.
We agree with the decrease in the levels of illumination but this clashes with the policy of all lighting: lighting of walls, monuments, churches, archaeological sites, buildings, etc.. is this the way to decrease the luminance of the sky?
You go to see the extent of the luminance of the sky performed by the observatory astronomical of the Asiago Italy and you will see that in recent years, the luminance of the sky has grown exponentially!
This means that the various Norms UNI CIE etc. who wanted to limit the luminance of the sky have failed, a good connoisseur short
words.

0) Carta etica celeste

La carta etica celeste rappresenta il codice etico della popolazione mondiale, in special modo di coloro che hanno relazioni dirette ed indirette con gli impianti di illuminazione per esterni. Tradotta in varie lingue, ha avuto grande successo in tutto il mondo (telegiornali nazionali, agenzie, siti internet mondiali). Basterebbe ispirarsi ai contenuti qualitativi della carta etica celeste per ottimizzare gli impianti di illuminazione per esterni ed abbattere l'emissione luminosa verso la volta celeste.

Due metodi sperimentali per la misura del flusso luminoso disperso ed R%

Due metodi sperimentali messi a punto dall'autore: il metodo della magnitudine stellare, il metodo del flusso disperso. Per la prima volta in Italia, con tutti i limiti dei metodi sperimentali, č stato possibile determinare R% ed il flusso disperso per abitante e chilometro quadrato, per una cittā di 50.000 abitanti (Civitavecchia).  La relazione e le tabelle: uno      due          totale
