To collect more of the light wasted vertically, he added triangular prism sections above and below the main lens, which both refracted and reflected the light.

The exhibition, which opens tomorrow and runs through Jan . 19 explores issues like energy use, light, waste disposal, construction materials and urbanism.
For the young, hip and urban, collaborative consumption is a way to live light, waste less, to protect the environment, to create and associate with a community of like-minded people.
Businesses that produce dry, light waste -- like offices, retail stores and pharmacies -- now pay much less than the cap of $12.20 a cubic yard, the trash industry executives said.
Diffractive multifocal IOL diverts 81% of the input light to two primary focuses equally, with the additional 19% of the light wasted as higher order diffraction.
DIA (and complementary parameters DIA− and DIA+) describes the occurrence of different control operating conditions (ideal functioning, intrinsic light excess, light deficit and light waste) during a specific period.
Given that, the paper proposes new indices to describe DLCs performances: Daylight Integration Adequacy (DIA), Percentage Light Deficit (LD%), Percentage Intrinsic Light Excess (ILE%) and Percentage Light Waste (LW%).
Sixteen different design configurations are considered in this study, reflecting different design choices such as how to use or recycle light waste gases from the Fischer-Tropsch section, whether or not to integrate nuclear energy into the system, and also whether or not to include CO2 capture.
Excessive, poorly designed outdoor lighting wastes electricity, imperils human health and safety, disturbs natural habitats, and, increasingly, deprives many of us of a direct relationship with the nighttime sky, which throughout human history has been a powerful source of reflection, inspiration, discovery, and plain old jaw-dropping wonder.
