Why Dark Sky Friendly Lighting Matters

What Are Dark Skies?

Dark skies are areas where the natural darkness of the night is largely free from interference by artificial light. Sadly, light pollution has risen significantly across the UK in recent decades — with fewer than 10% of people now able to see the Milky Way from where they live. Preserving dark skies helps protect our view of the stars and supports efforts to reduce unnecessary artificial light.

How Does Light Pollution Affect Biodiversity?

Artificial lighting can have a serious impact on wildlife, particularly nocturnal animals. It disrupts natural behaviours such as feeding, migration, and breeding patterns, and can interfere with sleep cycles. This is especially harmful to endangered species or those sensitive to changes in their environment. That’s why it’s essential to design lighting that minimises ecological impact, helping to safeguard habitats and support biodiversity.

Why Do We Need to Reduce Light Pollution?

Reducing light pollution benefits both people and the environment. It helps protect wildlife, reduces energy consumption, and preserves our ability to enjoy the beauty of the night sky. At Wydels, our lighting designs focus on responsible, targeted illumination — delivering the light you need for safety and security, while minimising glare, sky glow, and unnecessary light spill. We’re committed to creating smarter outdoor lighting that balances performance with environmental responsibility.

Warm-Tone Lighting

We favour warmer colour temperatures to reduce blue light output, supporting Dark Sky goals and minimising disruption to wildlife.

Smart Controls

Our designs include timers, sensors, and dimming options to ensure lighting is only active when required.

Purposeful

Every light should serve a clear, specific function. We consider how illumination affects the space and surrounding environment.

Appropriate Brightness

We specify the lowest effective light levels for safety and function — avoiding unnecessary brightness or harsh reflections.

Precise

We use shielding and careful alignment to direct light exactly where it’s needed, minimising spill and glare.

Expert Dark Sky Friendly Lighting That Fits Your Budget and Your Site

Consultation

Every successful Dark Sky Friendly lighting project starts with a clear understanding of your site’s needs. During our free consultation, we’ll take the time to learn how your space is used — whether it’s for residential areas, car parks, industrial yards, sports facilities, or sensitive rural locations. We assess the layout, existing infrastructure (if any), your goals, environmental sensitivities, and your budget.

Our team carefully considers Dark Sky principles and local planning guidelines to ensure we design a solution that minimises light pollution, protects wildlife, and meets your safety and security requirements.

Design

Following the consultation, we’ll create a bespoke lighting design focused on reducing light spill, glare, and upward light while delivering the illumination you need. Using advanced lighting software, we simulate the site to achieve optimal coverage with targeted, efficient lighting.

We factor in:

Column heights, brackets angles, and beam control for precise targeting
Energy efficiency to reduce costs
Appropriate lux levels for saftey and functionality without excess brightness
Local enviromental impact, wildlife protection, and conservation area requirements

You’ll receive a complete lighting plan, technical documents, and a tailored quotation — all free of charge — ready for planning, funding, or stakeholder approval.

Supply

Once your design is approved, we handle the full supply process — delivering premium LED luminaires (including street lights, floodlights, and amenity lighting), columns, brackets, and control gear that support Dark Sky objectives.

We offer:

Fast and tracked UK delivery
Flexible scheduling to suit project phases or funding cycles
Pre-assembled kits available for faster installation
Ongoing technical support and advice on isntallation partners or planning approvals

Our aim is to make your project hassle-free, with equipment that arrives on time, in perfect condition, and ready to install.
