Improving the environmental footprint of industrial projects includes the reduction or elimination of light trespass and uplighting with the help of advanced lighting design strategies.

Mining, exploration, and other production operations can be located close to sensitive areas, where light outside of the facility perimeter can spill and negatively impact the health of the surrounding ecosystem, while the presence of excessive up-light represents a substantial waste of electricity and degradation of the night sky.

While the appropriate use of IDA-listed light fixtures can substantially reduce the potential for uplighting, detailed lighting designs can define luminaire locations, tilt, rotation, intensity, and optics to reduce the potential for light trespass outside the facility perimeters.
