In order to solve the problem of urban lighting, Hangzhou city lighting legislation. It is understood that the Hangzhou urban lighting management approach is currently seeking social advice, which set up how to set the lighting, where, where the bright, where not to light, have done a detailed provisions.

Legislation on urban lighting this matter, what is the situation of overseas countries? First look to australia. Sydney, Australia, a total of 22000 street lights, is one of the largest users of road lighting in New South Wales, australia. In some cities and regions in Australia, where there is a lot of animals, do you have any legislation that is similar to lighting?

According to Australian observers Hu Fang introduced, according to statistics, Australia has a total of 2 million 280 thousand street lamps, the annual electricity consumption of street lamps is about 125 million Australian dollars, or about $600 million. Overall view of the data is good, equivalent to the adult every 10 Australians share a street lamp, and the average annual per capita Street electricity charges about $5. In addition, the population density is very low in Australia, in the same population, Australia City would like to share the same pie shop is very large, so in a large area with limited street, Australia City road lamp is less. In legislation, each state in Australia will have its own urban lighting guidelines, and some central cities are also the first to introduce the concept of street lighting energy. Melbourne, Australia, for example, is the first city in the world to use solar energy to supply city traffic lights and store solar energy to supply street lights. 5 years ago, the city of Sydney, Australia has also completed the renovation of urban streets and parks lighting system project, in the hope of eventually reducing the electricity consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by 40%. When you turn around a large city in Australia at night, you will find that, in addition to some strong lights in the bar area, the whole city is shrouded in very dark light. And if you leave the center of some distance, you will find ordinary residential streets, and sometimes even can not find street lights. For the neglect of urban lighting, in fact, to a large extent with the Australian lifestyle has a certain relationship. Australia is almost no evening commercial activities every week except Thursday because of the special customs of some shops will be open to 9 o'clock in the evening, usually in addition to the vast majority of supermarket stores in 5 or even earlier closed. People are more inclined to the weekend daytime activities, usually at night and the rest is used in the house, so the whole city lights is bright enough, in fact, from the demand point of view, it is not so important, because many people don't go out at night.

Turn to america. Since the year 2011 violent crime rate increased after the two institutions in the United States Austen and Austen City Police Bureau of energy on the plan in the three most dangerous place in Austen, LED lighting installed on crime prevention, efforts to protect city residents. One of a series of policies to combat urban crime.

According to U.S. observers Du Jianfeng, the United States for light pollution legislation, there are two characteristics. The first legislation is mainly for the government to install and responsible for some of the lighting facilities, the general individual residents, including private, private office buildings, these lights have some provisions but not so strict. Most of the laws are for the government responsible for the construction of street lamps
