Adding some joy to the world is not necessary a waste of resources.



I very much agree, but I still would like to add, that not everyone enjoys light pollution ...


What percentage of the world’s light pollution do you suppose will come from this feature?


Not much, I still just wanted to raise attention to the fact, that not everyone feels like more blinking lights are

"Adding some joy to the world"

for everyone. I mean, do you enjoy blinking banners on websites? I doubt it. Well, blinking lights in real life are pretty much the same to me. They either are important, like sirens - or they are noise to me and actually quite a lot of other people. But you have fun with your toy in the spirit that you will add joy to the world.


what does light pollution have to do with any of this?


Blinking lights are a joy for many on christmas, for others, it is merely annoying light pollution.
