Exterior lighting & exterior building lighting: Dark Sky

Live and work comfortably indoors and outdoors with good lighting. Safely and in a pleasant atmosphere.

Indoors, light supports living, working, and relaxing. Outdoors, it makes paths, entrances, and terraces usable. At the same time, precisely planned lighting protects the Dark Sky by directing brightness where it is needed and avoiding unnecessary light emissions.

Illuminated buildings with a clear view of the night sky

The move towards transparent architecture turns buildings into objects that glow from within at night. As work and leisure fill all 24 hours of the day, light becomes an exceptionally important topic.

A sensitive approach to light outdoors is crucial for a clear view of the night sky. Embrace the topic of "Dark Sky" with conviction in your planning. It stands for exterior lighting design in which the illumination concentrates on the essentials. You avoid any light pollution from stray light, making it possible to observe the starry sky. This approach combines a sustainable design concept with luminaire technology tailored to it. For the effective implementation of Dark Sky designs, work closely with lighting and landscape designers, architects, and luminaire manufacturers.
