Light pollution is using too much artificial light which as many consequences such as preventing more research in astronomy, disrupting ecosystems, creating health effects and wasting energy. What could be some solutions to this problem? In this science project, three homemade lampshades made from different fabrics are tested with a LED light meter to see which lampshade reduces the amount of light projected the most. Three lampshades made from cotton, linen, and nylon were placed on a LED light bulb. A LED light meter was used to measure the strength of the light after the lampshade was placed. The hypothesis was that the cotton lampshade would reduce the amount of light the most. The results showed
