Telegraph said, the Royal Commission for Environmental Pollution has just conducted a study to find out the harmful effects of street lamps with too large capacity.

John Lawton, chairman of the British Royal Environmental Pollution Commission, said: "The government needs to quickly realize that improper lighting and improper lighting can have a negative impact on the natural environment. Of course, artificial lighting brings many benefits to people, it helps us feel safe and perform many activities at night, but most of our light poles are poorly designed or incorrectly placed. spot, leading to wasteful electricity and blinding " .

According to the Telegraph, the Royal Commission for Environmental Pollution found many evidence that artificial light can cause many negative effects on plants, animals and even humans. High-power bulbs make people in the illuminated area not see everything in the darkness around. Therefore they cannot prevent or resist bad guys if they hide in the dark.

"If standing in an area with strong artificial light, people and police can hardly see thieves or smugglers if they hide in the dark , " Lawton said.
