In a thought-provoking episode of Restoring Darkness, Michael Colligan, Mark Baker, and Dr. Amardeep Dugar rethink lighting design, challenging outdated metrics and advocating for life-centric lighting—an approach that considers the broader ecological impact of artificial light. 🌍 Key Takeaways: Outdated Efficiency Metrics – The industry’s continued reliance on lumens per watt is hindering progress in sustainable lighting design. Beyond Human-Centric Lighting – Dr. Dugar highlights that lighting decisions should take into account all life forms, not just human needs. Darkness as a Resource – Instead of treating darkness as an absence, it should be recognized as an essential environmental necessity for biological and ecological balance. Cultural Perspectives – Ancient civilizations revered darkness, but modern society has vilified it—it's time to shift the narrative. Advocacy for Change – Lighting designers and professionals have a responsibility to redefine lighting standards that preserve natural darkness rather than disrupt it. 🔥 It’s time to move beyond “brighter is better” and embrace sustainable, thoughtful lighting that respects all species. What’s your take on life-centric lighting? Let’s spark the conversation! 🚀 #LightingDesign #DarknessMatters #SustainableLighting #RestoringDarkness Connect with Dr. Dugar: Facebook - @lightingrnd / Amardeep Dugar Instagram - @lightingrnd / @amardeeppm Sponsor: Tesla Induction Lighting Company www.TeslaInductionLightingCompany.com…
 
In this episode of Restoring Darkness , Michael Colligan, Mark Baker, and Scott Wachter unpack the hidden dangers of light pollution, from LED-induced migraines to its role in societal chaos. They expose how the lighting industry’s shift from bulbs to LEDs dodged accountability, while personal responsibility narratives shield systemic failures. With the NHTSA banning flashing LED vehicle lights and lawsuits looming, the trio challenges the myth that brighter nights mean safer streets, revealing a world where light might just be the spark for unrest—and a call for industry reckoning grows louder. Key Takeaways Health Hazards Emerge : LEDs are linked to migraines, seizures, and chronic issues like cancer and sleep loss, a stark shift from the industry’s early focus on dark sky preservation. Systemic vs. Personal : The narrative of “turn off your phone” dodges broader accountability—lighting firms, regulators, and utilities push personal fixes over systemic solutions, burdening the sensitive. Industry Accountability : Extended producer responsibility could force manufacturers, distributors, and installers to curb light pollution, with legal parallels to glyphosate lawsuits targeting firms like Acuity Brands. Safety Myth Debunked : Bright lights don’t deter crime universally—car break-ins and porch piracy thrive under illumination—while 5000K LEDs may escalate tension in riots, not calm it. Energy Efficiency Fallacy : LED mandates prioritize lumens-per-watt over total energy use or human comfort, leaving utilities off the hook and society over-lit without real gains.…
 
Nadine brings us a completely different perspective on the light pollution issue. We in the peaceful, prosperous parts of the world debate how to deal with light pollution, what color temperatures to use, and when to turn it off. There are parts of the world where light is scarce and whether it is 2200k or 5600k, it doesn’t matter. Some people just need light for survival. When missiles are landing and you need to get away from the window, you need to see where to dive on the floor. Nadine has experience in a place where light pollution isn’t on the radar. Nadine Baalbaki, holder of a Master’s Degree in Architecture, commenced her journey in lighting design two decades ago at Hilights, an esteemed lighting design firm in Lebanon renowned for shaping iconic projects across Lebanon and the GCC region. In 2013, she transitioned to Viabizzuno's Dubai office, assuming leadership of the design team and integrating light and architecture to create immersive environments. Amidst the pandemic's challenges, Nadine founded Light the Detail, a social media platform dedicated to raising awareness about lighting and its profound impact on mental and physical well-being. Today, Light The Detail stands as an independent lighting design practice boasting a diverse portfolio spanning commercial, office, landscape, restaurant, and hospitality projects, with a particular focus on high-end residential spaces. Nadine was guest speaker at Light+Intelligent Building Middle East, and took part in several lighting workshops in Dubai. She recently joined The Lighting Police as a core team member, driven by a mission to highlight the significance of proper lighting. Beyond her professional endeavors, Nadine is a mother of two teenagers, constantly seeking the right balance between family and work. Her personal escape? The 3S recipe—Sun, Sand, and Sea—her go-to mental detox. Through her journey in lighting design, Nadine has learned to discern and prioritize what truly matters, shedding light on the essential and finding beauty amidst the shadows.

When’s the last time you spoke at the U.N.? Well, 15 year old Rushil Kukreja has done it. This smart kid is taking action on light pollution. His website, princia.org , is dedicated to “combatting light pollution and preserving the natural beauty of our night skies.” As part of a science fair project, Rushil invented a window that will turn opaque when it senses more light inside the building than outside. If you can’t help fight light pollution, get out of Rushil’s way. Rushil Kukreja is a junior at TJHSST and the Founder and President of Princia, the only student-run nonprofit dedicated to solving light pollution, leading over 250 advocates across six continents. He has spoken at the United Nations General Assembly, earned a grant from Cornell University, and is working with lawmakers in 8 states, advocating for policy changes to mitigate light pollution’s environmental and health impacts. As an astrophysics researcher and aerospace innovator, Rushil combines scientific expertise with advocacy to drive sustainable lighting solutions worldwide.…
