The big star: A hub in the middle of the big city, and therefore well lit.

How did you perceive the difference between dark and light?
Street lights are mainly used because of the safety aspect. Adequate lighting not only ensures better visibility for drivers and pedestrians, but also contributes to reducing accidents and general traffic safety. However, glare, often associated with excessively bright light sources, can be a problem and compromise safety. It is therefore important to create balanced lighting that both improves visibility and avoids glare and dark spots.

In addition to safety aspects, the aesthetics of the lanterns also play an important role. Historical lighting elements such as the lamps designed by Paulick for Karl Marx Street can have a significant impact on the appearance. They contribute to the identity of the place and give it a unique atmosphere. The lighting you see here is more about aesthetics than a sensible lighting concept because it scatters the light in all directions. You will see lots of insects around the lamps. This form of lighting is part of a broader light pollution problem.
