Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) is increasingly recognized as a sustainability challenge, with poorly designed or excessive outdoor lighting contributing to biodiversity loss, ecosystem disruption, unnecessary energy use, and adverse effects on human well-being. As environmental expectations, sustainability frameworks, and procurement requirements continue to evolve, there is a growing need for lighting solutions that minimize environmental impacts while maintaining safety and performance.This webinar explores how independent third-party certification of luminaires can support responsible ALAN management and more sustainable outdoor lighting practices. By verifying compliance with defined environmental and technical requirements - including optimized light distribution, appropriate illuminance levels, suitable spectral characteristics, and intelligent lighting controls - certification provides a credible and transparent way to demonstrate the environmental performance of luminaires.

Participants will gain insights into how certified luminaires can help reduce the negative impacts of outdoor lighting, support sustainability objectives, and contribute to the protection of nocturnal ecosystems. The session will also highlight the benefits for certificate holders, including stronger sustainability credentials, increased market trust, product differentiation, and a competitive advantage in procurement and tendering processes where environmental performance and responsible lighting practices are becoming increasingly important.

We look forward to your participation in our free online seminar.
