The Queensland town of Winton has been certified as an International Dark Sky Community.

The town has committed to managing its light pollution and installed warm bulbs in its streetlights.

Winton Shire Council and tourism operators believe the certification will attract stargazers wanting to experience the natural night sky.

    I fully support having loads of light in a room, four 150w equivalents sounds awesome for cleaning or working on a project, but put that shit on a dimmer, of course making sure they’re dimmable LEDs. Also, of course, like 3000-4000K color temp (unless they’re in a bathroom or kitchen where 5000K is acceptable imo)
