Shining a Spotlight on Warmer Colour Temperatures

With continued research on the effects of lighting on both humans and wildlife, we are taking a stand to create a warmer welcome! Our product ranges now offer a wider array of colour temperature options to create perfect lighting schemes.

As technology becomes more prevalent in modern life, with many of us spending the majority of our days behind harshly lit computer monitors under bright lighting or using small blue-hued screens to arrange our social calendar or check the news, designers are acting on the increased importance of creating human-centric environments within public realm spaces, offices and city streets.

The warmer colour temperatures of exterior lighting within these spaces help to drive a calming atmosphere for its guests, both human and animals alike. Our warmer lighting families include high powered street lights, sleek amenity luminaires, as well as architectural accent fittings; offering a bright tool-kit to create the perfect outdoor installation.

We have helped many customers to take advantage of the warmer colour temperatures and create a aesthetic, functional lighting solutions, including;
