When I was in the UK a couple of years ago I was struck by the lack of stars at night even on clear nights but that might have been due to light pollution or because I have grown used to the southern hemisphere stars. I don't know.

Re: 'Starpath' Street Lighting
All a bit vague really. How much light does it emit and for how long? When running in the dark just a little sheen on a wet surface helps so presumeably a track covered with this stuff might prove a godsend but would you feel comfortable walking along it on a pitch black night? Need more info but the idea is great.

Re: 'Starpath' Street Lighting
If the link is still working Mups, the pavements glow a kind of blue colour - it looks very pretty. I was curious about how much light it actually throws out as they're thinking of replacing street lights with this stuff. I do think for rural areas (such as where I live where there are no street lights after midnight and out in woollyback country, there are non at all so this would be a really good idea and environmentally friendly (until the electricity providers can think of a reason why it isn't
)
