When darkness strikes, we, as a society, tend to overpower it with light. But this has led to a lot of inconvenient consequences. In the thesis, Designing For Darkness, Taylor Stone explains why we need to find our balance between light and darkness. You can find more about this in the article Designing For Darkness. In this Hutspot there are two products selected that can be seen as spearheads for the search for less light pollution.

TRIOLIGHT, the company behind RailLight, has thought carefully about the function of the lights on train rails. Subsequently they translated this into a totally new and more efficient way of lighting this work environment. By relocating the light source from high up to almost on the ground, they managed to reduce the energy consumption by 50% to 70% and reduced a lot of light pollution. All by maintaining a safe work environment. They use plug-and-play LED strips, so installation costs are reduced by a minimum of 50%.

still studying two design masters in Munich. The Papilio streetlights generate their own energy with an internal wind rotor. The light spectrum is insect friendly. And the best part, the lights are motionactivated. Therefore, this product covers most of the nine values of darkness selected by Taylor Stone.
