The increasingly pervasive phenomenon of light pollution spans several different fields of concern, including the loss of the night sky, energy wastage, and the effects of artificial light on circadian rhythms and nocturnal ecology. Although the scale of the problem has grown significantly in recent decades, the underlying dynamics remain only partially understood beyond the identification of specific technological pathways such as the rise of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) or the capitalist transformation of the nocturnal realm. It is suggested that current approaches to the study of light, including the identification of urban atmospheres, the elaboration of existing approaches to urban ecology, or the extension of smart city type discourses, do not capture the full complexity of the politics of light under late modernity. ?????????, ???????????, ???????, ?????, ????????????????????????????????????????????, ???????????(LEDs)?????????????????????, ?????????????????, ????????, ????????????????????, ??????????????, ?????????????????? El fenomeno cada vez mas generalizado de polucion luminosa abarca varios campos diferentes de preocupacion, incluyendo la perdida del cielo nocturno, el desperdicio de energia y los efectos de la luz artificial sobre los ritmos circadianos y la ecologia nocturna. Aunque la escala del problema ha crecido significativamente en decadas recientes, la dinamica subyacente sigue siendo solo parcialmente entendida mas alla de la identificacion de especificas avenidas tecnologicas tales como el desarrollo de los diodos generadores de luz (LEDs) o la transformacion capitalista del reino nocturno. Se sugiere que los enfoques actuales relacionados con el estudio de la luz, incluyendo la identificacion de las atmosferas urbanas, el desarrollo de los enfoques actuales sobre ecologia urbana, o la extension de los discursos tipo ciudad inteligente, no captan la completa complejidad de las politicas de la luz bajo tardia modernidad.
