Assessment of Lighting Impact and Ecology

Lighting Impact and Ecology

The effects of lighting on flora and fauna are becoming increasingly important and should be minimised wherever possible.

Our lighting experts are also assisted by ecologists with an in-depth knowledge of lighting impacts on flora and fauna.including those for new all weather sports facilities, freight depots and retail premises.
