Yes Glen, I think it is entirely feasible that our restricted movement due to lockdowns and also now even night curfews, will have had an effect on light pollution, since there will be less stray light from shop front advertising, lessened parking illumination and far fewer vehicles on the road. Of course we still have have all those
wonderful LED streetlamps Hans mentioned and many more poorly directed/unshaded streetlamps and general lighting.
