Description
To preserve the exceptional sky quality of the Roque de Los Muchachos
Observatory, the Spanish Government has subsidized the cost of a
programme of streetlighting adaptation on La Palma aimed at minimizing
potential light pollution. New non-polluting light fixtures and
low-pressure sodium vapour lamps have been used to modified existing
lighting and have reduced light pollution to about 85% of that from
previous installations.
