Outdoor lighting & exterior building lighting: Dark Sky

Live and work in comfort indoors and out 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 light protects the Dark Sky, directing brightness where it is needed and avoiding unnecessary light emissions.

Quality and environmental friendliness

  • What does the term "Dark Sky" mean for me?
  • How can I light my garden?
  • How can I still find my way around outdoors?

A good lighting designer can answer these questions clearly, concretely, and vividly. Not only in technical terms, but also in terms of images and effects.

Glowing buildings with a clear view of the night sky

The move toward transparent architecture turns buildings into objects that glow from within at night. As work and leisure span 24 hours, light becomes an exceptionally important consideration.

A sensitive approach to outdoor light is crucial for keeping the night sky clearly visible. Embrace the topic of "Dark Sky" with conviction in your planning. It stands for outdoor lighting design in which the illumination concentrates on the essentials. You avoid any light pollution from stray light, and observing the starry sky remains possible. 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.
