Services

At Ecological Lighting Solutions, we provide specialist lighting design and consultancy that carefully balances the needs of people, places and wildlife, whilst protecting dark skies.


Working nationwide, and occasionally internationally, we support all project types from the earliest stages of masterplanning and baseline lighting surveys, through planning and technical assessment, to detailed design, tender and commissioning, with bespoke consultancy available throughout.


Our designs are supported by detailed, quantifiable lighting calculations. These allow us to demonstrate how light will behave within a proposed development and provide clear evidence that sensitive habitats can be protected and relevant lighting requirements achieved.


Whether you need to address a complex ecological constraint, secure planning approval, discharge a planning condition, review a masterplan or provide technical evidence in support of a planning appeal, we can provide specialist advice and practical lighting solutions at every stage.
