Comment on light pollution
thevoidzero@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoDoesn’t need that complex algorithm here because streetlight is static (the walkways don’t change), so all you need is just a different light design for each. Or maybe a modular source you can change while installing.
Honestly a great idea

Don’t need an algorithm at all. Just needs what is effectively a lampshade cut to direct the light at the sidewalk and street instead of the houses.

which is why it feels vaguely malicious to me that this isn’t a completely standard thing, all it would take is putting up some opaque sheets on the street lamps and having a dude go around at night to cut them so the light only shines onto the ground
for the benefit it brings it should be trivially cheap
