I've posted a note to my energy efficient LED item at

Im always appalled at seeing so many TV gardeners encouraging people
to use out door lighting, yet at the same time lecturing us about
about conservation, environmentalism, protecting wildlife and
preserving natural resources. Is there any better way of wasting
huge amounts of energy than flooding your garden and everything else
around with light??

I can't remember if it was the channel 4 or BBC 2 "gardening" program that
converted someone's garden into a construction complete with outdoor
lighting because the owner wanted to have friends around for beers. Not only
is he contributing to light pollution, but I'm sure his neighbours really
appreciate drunken buffoons yacking away til late at night just outside
their back windows!
