Lighting Design

Lighting is a powerful design element that transforms both interior and exterior spaces. From enhancing architectural features to creating safe, functional, and inspiring environments, both natural and artificial light play a vital role in shaping how spaces are experienced.

At CBS, we understand that effective lighting is not only about aesthetics—it's also about performance, efficiency, and environmental responsibility. Providing the right amount of light, in the right place, at the right time is essential to minimising environmental and ecological impact.

We offer a comprehensive range of lighting design services, tailored to meet the unique requirements of each project. Our team combines creative vision with technical expertise to deliver high-quality lighting solutions that are innovative, practical, and sustainable.

Our Services

Lighting Impact Assessments

CBS specialises in external lighting design and impact assessments to support planning applications and navigate site-specific and environmental constraints.

Early-stage consideration of lighting impacts is crucial, particularly as obtrusive lighting is now recognised as a statutory nuisance under the Environmental Protection Act. Local authorities are increasingly requiring lighting assessments as part of the planning process.

We offer a full suite of lighting impact services, including:

• Expert advice and technical compliance checks

• Full design, analysis, and reporting

• Support for planning submissions

• Mitigation strategies for sensitive environments

Our team has extensive experience working on projects involving protected wildlife and ecologically sensitive areas. For example, bat habitats, foraging zones, and commuting routes require careful consideration and mitigation under the Wildlife and Countryside Act and the Conservation Regulations.

LED Lighting Upgrades

Lighting accounts for up to 20% of a building’s energy consumption. Upgrading from conventional lighting to LED systems is a smart investment—offering energy savings of up to 80%, longer lifespans, and lower maintenance costs.

CBS partners with leading suppliers to provide cost-effective, energy-efficient LED solutions tailored to your building’s needs and your budget. Our LED upgrade services are designed to future-proof your property and reduce exposure to rising energy costs.
