Floodlight spill light, Sundial Farm, Wentworth
Elevated view of Sundial Farm, Lea Brook Lane, Wentworth, Rotherham.
When the floodlights go on at Sundial farm, it’s not just the ménage that gets illuminated. Due to a combination of ill designed and directed floodlighting, light is able to spill far beyond its intended target.
The image to the right is Mexborough & Swinton Astronomical Society’s observatory-
This picture clearly demonstrates the extent of the problem- spill light from the floods have cast my shadow and that of nearby trees onto the observatory dome.
This could easily be eradicated by pointing the light fittings downwards, and by fitting shields to limit any stray light.
