Monitoring of Light Emissions

To you as an authority, community, municipality, canton, nature park - or as a citizen - we offer to evaluate light emissions and take measures.
  • Measurements of Light and Darkness quantify light levels and document the current state and/or temporal trends. In case thresholds or guide values are exceeded, clear step-by-step action plans will be provided.

    This is particularly useful for selective measurements, like excessive lightings often found with advertisings, gas stations, car parkings or sport grounds. The same is true for brightening up living and sleeping space, which impacts quality of life.

  • For communities and municipalities, an analysis of light emissions in the perimeter documents the current state and past trends. It enables comaprisons and action plans, and will be provided in an easy-to-understand report.
    • Substantiate your efforts to reduce light pollution
    • Visualize before-after states, for example when refurbishing sport grounds, industry zones or street lightings
    • Identify improper or flawed light sources, in order to correct them
  • High-Resolution Site Analysis
    We quantitatively chart sites at a small scale, such as industry plants, commercial zones or road sections, according to their light emissions.

    Night-time cartography documents the nightly illumination, identifies remaining dark spots (in order to preserve them), and bright areas, where need for actions may arise to reduce light pollution.

Special Solutions

Special concerns require special attention!
  • For larger entities such as counties, cantons, nature parks or star parks, we offer tailored measurements, consultancy and support for implementation.

    We also operate all-sky cameras and sky quality metering in order to continually record natural darkness.

  • For new constructions, we are able to estimate the prospectve light emissions from the lighting plans. For road constructions, this includes additional illumunations due to car head lamps. This allows to pre-emptively adapt plans—with no need for costly late rectifications.

    Our sophisticated data flows ensure quick and reliable results.

  • For country parks and natural preserves and similar, here is our compehensive offer.
  • Anything else? Challenge us!
