Festenstein Lighting Design is committed to
furthering best practice in public realm lighting design; promoting
sustainable environments, integrated design and a reduction in energy
use.
We believe good lighting in our public spaces can contribute not
only to an attractive nightscape and the economic benefits this brings
to our urban centres; but that lighting as part of an integrated
approach to urban design can benefit and enhance our
communities
greatly.
High quality lighting can play a significant role in
the
improved perception of public safety on our streets at night, allowing
the wider community to use our pubic spaces to a greater extent,
bringing an enhanced feeling of wellbeing and helping to create more
sustainable and inclusive communities.
Good lighting design can help to de-clutter our streets but
more importantly can contribute to sustainable design by promoting
social identity and thereby building stronger local communities
contributing to a more sustainable way of life.
These principles are
reflected
in our approach to much of our work.
