In this very popular CPD we explore the apparently conflicting requirements of safer spaces and darker skies. We look at different types of lighting, explain some of the terminology used, then see how carefully designed lighting enhances safety in public spaces while retaining darker skies and remaining wildlife friendly.

Lighting

  • Types & categories of landscape lighting
  • Temperature, CRI, distribution and recommendations
