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.
For time-critical projects, our Rapid Service offers an accelerated 48-hour turnaround.

A baseline lighting survey establishes the existing nighttime lighting conditions on a site. Through on-site measurements and assessment, we identify existing light sources, lux levels and areas of darkness.

Baseline lighting modelling calculates the existing nighttime lighting conditions on a site through desktop analysis. We model existing light sources to predicted lux levels and areas of darkness.

A lighting strategy details parameters for how a site should be lit, without developing a detailed lighting design. We set out appropriate lighting levels, specifications, controls and mitigation measures.

A Lighting Impact Assessment provides quantifiable evidence to accompany a planning application. We assess the proposed lighting scheme in relation to wildlife, residential amenity and the night sky.

Bat and wildlife-friendly lighting design mitigates harmful effects of artificial light on ecology, whilst meeting the needs of the development. We collaborate with project and LPA ecologists, and Natural England where required, to develop compliant lighting solutions.

Dark Skies lighting design minimises the impact of artificial light on the night sky, whilst meeting the needs of the development. We develop sensitive, compliant lighting solutions that protect Dark Skies and the character of the nighttime environment.

External lighting design creates considered lighting solutions that shape how outdoor spaces are experienced after dark. We design schemes that enhance the nighttime environment, whilst supporting safety, functionality and the character of the surrounding setting.

Internal lighting design brings architecture and interiors to life through the considered use of light. We create schemes that complement the character of each space, create atmosphere and provide comfortable, effective lighting for the people who use it.

Street lighting design provides practical lighting solutions for highways, roads and public spaces. We develop schemes to meet relevant standards and local authority requirements, including Section 38 (S38) designs for adoptable highways.

A technical review provides an independent assessment of lighting designs prepared by others. We check schemes against standards, planning requirements and ecological constraints, to recommend potential improvements.

Planning advice provides specialist lighting input throughout the planning process. From masterplan reviews to temporary lighting recommendations, we provide guidance to inform and progress proposals.

Appeal support provides specialist lighting input. We review feedback, address areas of concern and provide technical compliant lighting calculations to replace subjective assessments with quantifiable evidence.
We have a 100% success rate in helping our clients achieve planning approval.
