The idea that you can light better and for much less money with LED bulbs hasn't been the best one. Indeed, according to a study published Wednesday, November 22 in the journal "Science Advances", the massive use of this new technology has only increased light pollution on Earth, which ultimately affects human health, animals and plants.After analyzing the observations of a satellite, researchers at the GFZ Geophysical Research Center in Potsdam, Germany, at the origin of this study, determined that the artificial lighting of the planet has increased, both in quantity and in intensity, about 2% per year from 2012 to 2016.
