Abstract

In the present titling work, the levels of lighting and light pollution in restaurant facades of Remigio Crespo Avenue, Redondel of the Stadium and ECU 911 of the city of Cuenca are analyzed, due to the presence of excessive lighting. Measurements were carried out with the support of a luminance meter and a sky quality meter that were used to determine the luminance and the level of pollution that each of the establishments emitted into the environment. Based on international regulations, forms of light measurement were determined, illuminance overvalues on the facades that made it easier to know which spaces were overlit and the level of light pollution that was emitted to the environment was identified. Concluding that the excessive use of lighting that these restaurants have in their exterior nowadays causes a glare that hinders visibility when distinguishing objects, with the data obtained it was verified that the lighting of the facades in these shops does not comply with the established limits.
