Summary
This paper maps artificial light at night (ALAN) across the Maltese Islands using photometric techniques, documenting the extent of light pollution in the region. While focused on astronomical and environmental concerns, findings on spectral composition and intensity of outdoor lighting have indirect relevance to circadian health impacts of nighttime light exposure.
