    I feel that light pollution has dramatically increased. Where I live, it has been linked to navigational issues with the Bogong moth, which drastically reduced the primary food source of the critically endangered Pygmy possum.

    I just built a new house, and I followed recommendations from architects and now my living room has 100w of lights and looks like a 7-Eleven from outside. It’s the equivalent of 1000w of incandescent globes, which was unheard of.

      You got 100W bulbs and not 100W equivalent? That makes zero sense. I didn’t even know you could find 100W residential LEDs.

      Grab some 7W, 2700k dimmable LEDs and call it a day.

        Maybe I misunderstood but he seems to mean in total like adding all the lights not 100w each one.
