Lighting forms an essential safety aspect throughout our community whether it be for residential, trunk roads or outdoor sports lighting and the design of it is critical. Not only does appropriate lighting scheme ensure safety throughout the community, it also improves the aesthetics and warmth of an area. A well lit highway, for instance, can change our communities, make the night time environment a safer place to congregate and enthuse regeneration which can lead to a greatly improved local society. These benefits can only be achieved if the correct lighting design solution is implemented.

In 2003 the British Standards were dramatically modernised to take account of the European Standards and placed emphasis on improved lighting and the importance of achieving an excellent uniformity. In years gone by, poor uniformity was referred to as the zebra effect as you look along an existing roadway resulting in patches or dark lighting. There have also been changes to the nuisance lighting requirements.

This has been an important change to ensure that any scheme passed through a local authority must now meet a strict requirement, helping to reduce the impact of glare and unwanted lighting impacting on residents, drivers and anyone else associated with the scheme. MMA’s lighting designers have the expertise and broad knowledge of these requirements and are happy to advise where necessary.

MMA Lighting Consultancy have lighting designers fully trained in these modern standards who have completed the Lighting Diplomas courses with the Institution of Lighting Professionals (ILP). Our staff are passionate about the lighting designs that they produce and always work towards achieving a solution that will not only ensure safety but also improve the community, aesthetics and beauty of any project.
