Move
This page really should be at Daylight. I've fixed the disambiguation and links to make this possible. Admin please move the page.--Srleffler 18:23, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

artificial daylight
In recent years, work has taken place to recreate the effects of daylight artificially. This is however expensive in terms of both equipment and energy consumption and is applied almost exclusively in specialist areas such as filmmaking, where light of such intensity is required anyway. I assume this is refering to recreating daylight in terms of lux? ...because recreating it's temperature is already possible...

Anyway, if that's the case, maybe that should be clarified in the article.. TerraFrost 00:26, 14 June 2007 (UTC)ar

Daylight intensity in the Solar System
Is Daylight the right place to describe sunlight intensity in the Solar System? It just seems a little odd, even if we can speak of daylight on other planets, to have a detailed examination here and a bare mention at sunlight. I think the table etc should be merged there, with a briefer mention and in its place here, keeping things here more terrestrial. I've merge tagged the section, anyway.--mikaultalk 12:28, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
 * As the author of that section, I agree wholeheartedly. I am now moving the table. --Cyclopia (talk) 20:19, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Outdated
The table of the planets' sunlight intensity is out of date, as it mentions Pluto as being a planet whereas it is now in fact classed as a dwarf-planet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by R.Help (talk • contribs) 19:30, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Bad image from time.gov
I deleted the image from time.gov (showing the terminator in Jan), because it is incorrect. It shows light symmetrically divided between the two hemispheres. However, at that time of year (Northern winter), there should be a band at the top (around the north pole) that light does not reach into, and at the bottom (around the south pole) there should be a band in continuous light. Compare to the websites at http://www.fourmilab.ch/cgi-bin/Earth or http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/earthview.php, which generate correct images.

I undid my edit: I was wrong, graph didn't extend as far as I thought. Wingedsubmariner (talk) 20:59, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Different luminance for overcast within Wikipedia
The Daylight article reads "10,000 - 25,000 lux Typical overcast day, midday", but the LUX article states "1,000 lux Overcast day; typical TV studio lighting". What is correct? The two articles differ by more than a factor 10! http://books.google.at/books?id=tTswvXBDBHkC&pg=SA35-PA37&dq=overcast+lux&hl=de&ei=ZwLJTZeJMcmVOoCLjccH&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCoQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=overcast%20lux&f=false gives a table (Table XIX), where the illumination of the overcast sky depends on the latitude. Based on such information I guess the Lux articel should also give a range and not a fixed value. The Daylight article should probably extend the low range for overcast to 5,000 lux instead of 10,000 lux. But these are just assumptions from an unexpierenced person, named Michilans (talk) 09:26, 10 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Early-June this year, in Seattle, on a very heavily overcast and rainy day, my lux meter showed about 10k. Some less severe overcast days have shown closer to 20-25k. I do believe that the 1-2k estimate currently shown is far too low. Mortrek (talk) 21:51, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

removed night filming paragraph
In some filmmaking locations, such as Sweden, there is too much light due to long summer days. As a result, in films like Marianne, night scenes have to be shot during the daylight hours and digitally altered later.

I removed this since it isn't about daylight as much as about movie-making with excess daylight. PErhaps move it to "day for night"? Mang (talk) 20:00, 12 November 2012 (UTC) see also Day for night

Removed mental health effects under "effects" header
It has been 5 years since the unreferenced tag was added and no attempts for adding references to it have been made, I believe it is better if it's removed due to the questionable nature of the paragraph.
