Abstract

An investigation is described into the effects of glare from different coloured sources under conditions simulating those of night driving. Differences were observed in the effects from blue, green, red and white sources. The results suggest that different entopic structures are responsible for scattering different predominant wavelengths. Changes in the practical parameters in street lighting are considered too great to enable glare to be systematically reduced by specifying a preferred chromaticity.
