Quality lighting designs improve the environmental footprint of industrial projects. This can reduce or eliminate light trespass and upward-directed light.
Mining, exploration, and other operations are at times located close to sensitive areas. Light spillage outside of the facility perimeter disrupts and impacts the surrounding ecosystem. Excessive up
ward lighting wastes electricity and causes a degradation of the night sky.
Installing IDA-listed light fixtures can reduce upward lighting. Detailed lighting designs define luminaire locations, tilt, rotation, intensity, color, and optics. Reducing the potential for excessive
light trespass outside the facility perimeters.
IDA Certification (Dark Sky)
"IDA is the recognized authority for night sky protection and has taken the lead in identifying and publicizing the negative impacts of artificial light at night on human health, wildlife, and climate change."
The International Dark Sky Association advocates for the 5 Principals of Responsible Outdoor Lighting, which we believe in.
The position of the fixture must face downward eliminating upward-directed light. that qualify to be IDA certified face downward. A non-adjustable mount ensures parallel positioning to the ground. This helps mitigates glare while reducing light trespass and skyglow.
