In an attempt to reduce energy consumption and make street lighting more environmentally friendly, Europe has been switching to LEDs in its street lights. However, it’s not necessarily a good choice, at least not in all aspects. The switch to LEDs is already visible from space, as well as the light pollution they cause.
