PROFFESIONAL PRACTICE MODULE
Artificial Light.
Gone are the flashing lights and neon signs of the 80’s, today many businesses are much more energy conscious, trying to cut down on the cost of electricity by using LED lights or by only using a certain amount of light when they are open. In this project I shall be looking at the amount of artificial light being used when the are open and how much they use when they are shut.
I call this the before and after midnight project, where I visit businesses premises when they are open at night time before midnight and then visit the same premises when they are shut after midnight. Durung the evening and up to midnight These businesses are lit up to try and attract customers into their shops and advertise just who they are and what they are selling but once midnight has past they shut down and the staff go home leaving only necessary lighting on.
Some businesses are now open 24 hours like McDonalds but even here they scale down their operations to just a drive by service hatch and keep minimal lighting on in their eating area for security only.
Many other businesses also scale down their use of lighting so that theirs also becomes security lighting.
Then some places like motorway services and main trunk road services have their lighting on for a 24 hour period, but as you will see they even reduce the amount of artificial light they use through the night.
