Thought for day - Should I wear sunglasses?

I suppose not every one in Thanet has the opportunity to wonder at the artificial lightshow provided by Thanet Earth, however the thought occurred this morning as I drove out of town near Acol, given the amount of light leaking from the greenhouses and projected onto the clouds, should we be concerned.

Obviously any amateur astronomer might be miffed by increased artificial light in the night sky, however I'm thinking, that if UV lighting is used by growers, whether this has any implications that have hitherto not been considered.

Still at least three other commuters escaping Thanet around 5 this morning are probably asking themselves why did that idiot, pull over on the Acol to Brooksend highway (less than a minute). Sorry!
