Opting For Eco-Friendly Lighting products to Protect Our Ecosystem
Go BackOpting For Eco-Friendly Lighting products to Protect Our Ecosystem
Amid environmental challenges, the impact of lighting on local ecosystems often goes unnoticed. However, with the rise of eco-conscious practices, innovative lighting solutions are emerging to safeguard both flora and fauna.
Understanding the Issues:
-
Light Pollution and Wildlife
Light pollution disrupts natural ecosystems by altering wildlife behavior, affecting plant growth, and disorienting nocturnal creatures. Traditional lighting can be harsh and contribute to excessive light spillage, which can harm local biodiversity. In our effort to assist in preserving our ecosystem, we at Huda Lighting offer light fittings from leading international brands that prioritize sustainability and environmental protection. Let’s explore some of our eco-friendly lighting brand partners who are already making a positive impact on the environment.
Introducing LINE by SELUX: Light That Respects Nature
The design philosophy behind the Line is to radically reduce the complexity of a luminaire’s form by integrating the optics into a vertical line. The result: slim-line luminaires supporting a calm and clear urban landscape.
SELUX’s outdoor lighting, LINE series, exemplifies eco-friendly lighting that respects the environment. A comfort feature option available is placing a small optic attachment over LED groups which refracts and adds some diffusion to soften the appearance of the light engine at night. These fixtures are designed to minimize light pollution and offer precision lighting for streets, paths and squares all from one vertical line without wasteful scattering, through a change in the finish of reflective surfaces offering an optical space that becomes quieter and produces less up light. The LINE series ensures minimal disruption to its surrounding ecosystems.
BEGA BugSaver: Eco-friendly illumination for the protection of nocturnal fauna
The BEGA BugSaver range is dedicated to preserving nocturnal animals, crucial for ecological balance. With a flexible color temperature and light output This product allows the shielded light to blend into the environment at different times without affecting the natural balance. While still ensuring the safe illumination of the entire terrain as a fundamental component of the overall lighting design. Using the BEGA BugSaver ® control devices, the color temperature of the luminaires can be switched from 3000 Kelvin to an Amber light color, significantly reducing the blue light component. The light becomes significantly less attractive for insects. Another option offered is simultaneous output reduction to a lesser light intensity with the integration of DALI light control systems. BEGA BugSaver minimizes harm to these vital creatures while still providing effective illumination.

Lower Environmental Impact
In the pursuit of minimizing our ecological footprint, many brands have undertaken efforts to prioritize sustainability and reduce environmental impact through their product manufacturing. By adopting sustainable materials and robust recycling practices, these brands have managed to expand the lifespan of their products and are actively contributing to a lesser environmental impact and indirectly helping the fauna and flora lifecycle in our ecosystem.
Ensuring a low environmental impact with ZTA Lighting Range by Stoane Lighting
Stoane Lighting is dedicated to fostering sustainability in every aspect of its operations, and the ZTA lighting family is a testament to this commitment.
Designed with a focus on minimizing environmental impact throughout their lifecycle, ZTA reduces the initial embodied carbon of Stoane Lighting’s luminaires to mitigate the risks of climate change and achieve their goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Utilizing the CIBSE TM65 Embodied Carbon methodology, to analyze the environmental impact of their ZTA range and provide detailed reports on their impact through-life carbon emissions.
In addition to reducing carbon emissions, Stoane Lighting has prioritized the circular design principles to enhance the longevity and reusability of their ZTA luminaires. This ensures that their products remain in use for extended periods, reducing the need for new production and minimizing environmental impact.
Orluna’s circular business: Lights that are better for our planet and better for your wallet
As we all need to move beyond the philosophy of single use. Lighting products should be sourced and designed with the intention of being repairable and renewable. Recycling is good but recycling alone isn’t enough, that’s because even a material which is 100% recyclable still needs lots of energy to transform it into a new product. By completely reinventing their manufacturing process, Orluna is now a circular business, which means their lights come with a 20-year repair and reuse guarantee, having products with 85% recycled materials and are 95% recyclable.
Circular products mean fewer virgin materials, less packaging and, most importantly, saying goodbye to single-use manufacturing. The 3Rs of a circular lighting design considering the entire life cycle of a LED light fixture or light bulb, from manufacture to disposal.
- Reduce: Use less materials in the first place by designing products that last longer and can be reused.
- Reuse: Repair or refurbish products instead of throwing them away.
- Recycle: Recycle materials from old products to make new ones.
With Orluna’s light extended life, you’re not just getting the world’s best lit effect for longer, you’re also getting a circular product that is better for our planet and your wallet.
Lighting doesn’t have to come at the expense of nature. With solutions like LINE from SELUX, BEGA BugSaver by BEGA, ZTA by Stoane Lighting and Oulna’s circular product functionality, we can still have great lighting while safeguarding local ecosystems. Join us in using eco-friendly luminaires and embracing sustainable lighting practices that protect flora, fauna, and our ecosystem.
