包玉剛泳池光污染 Light Pollution of Swimming Pool

可能市民增加了對光污染的認識(我早前參加了一個光污染工作坊：http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/article?mid=5445)，我收到了南濤閣居民對包玉剛泳池光污染的投訴，指泳池燈光太光太亮，平日10點前因未入睡尚可接受，但晚上10點閉館後泳池以仍需清潔為由，這些強光要到11點30分才熄燈。

我家訪時約8點，當時居民已要拉上厚厚的窗簾布才能遮蔽燈光，見下面從居民窗口拍的照片。

我們與康文署跟進後，署方現已改變了部份燈光照射方向，在11點前清潔時間熄掉大部份燈光。我會繼續跟進這個個案，希望署方能做更好，如此既可減少滋擾，又可節省電費和環保，何樂而不為呢。

I got a case complaining the light pollution of the Pao Yue Kong Swimming Pool Complex. The complainant told me that the light of the swimming pool is too bright and even they are usually turn off at 1130pm, though the swimming pool is closed at 10pm. According to the LCSD, the they need to clean the swimming pool after it's closed.

You are know more about the situation from the following pictures, which I took from the complainant's room.

After our follow up, the LCSD has changed the direction of some the lights and turned off some of the light during the cleaning time, and they will turn off most of the light before 11pm. I'm still following this case, hoping to have further improvement, in order to decrease the nuisance and save power. After all, it's matter of environmentally friendly.
