But aren't these lights just a little too efficent, they are quite bright and if all lights were replaced with LEDs wouldn't that significantly contribute to light pollution? USGB and LEED are concerned with light pollution in new construction as well as greenhouse gas emissions.....Should there be the tradeoff if it ever became feasible to do this?
