I totally agree that we are wasting significant amounts of electricity on unnecessary night lighting. Mankind's lifestyle changed significantly with the invention of the lightbulb, and subsequent inventions that keep us from our beds at night. (TV, computer etc.) I often wonder what it must've been like to sleep many hours in the winter, and be awake & working many hours in the summer? That I suspect is the lifestyle we're made for; during the past 100+ years we've adapted, and are still adapting to the effect of light at night.
Great discussion!!
