Responsible Lighting
DarkSky.
Good lighting should be visible on the architecture — not in the sky.
At LICLLAB we design luminaires that enhance architecture while protecting the natural night environment — delivering light only where it is required.
The Problem
What is
Light Pollution?
By controlling optics, shielding and beam direction, these effects can be significantly reduced.
Light pollution occurs when artificial lighting is misdirected, excessive or uncontrolled. Poorly designed luminaires scatter light indiscriminately — upward into the sky, sideways into neighbouring properties, and directly into observers' eyes.
Sky Glow
The artificial brightening of the night sky caused by light scattered upward into the atmosphere, erasing stars and the natural night landscape from view.
Glare
Discomfort and visual impairment caused by excessive brightness or direct exposure to unshielded light sources in the field of view.
Light Trespass
Unwanted illumination entering spaces where it is not needed or desired — affecting residents, wildlife, and adjacent ecosystems.
Energy Waste
Unnecessary energy consumption resulting from misdirected or over-specified lighting — a cost to both the environment and the budget.
LICLLAB Dark Sky Solutions
Four Pillars
of Responsible Light
Every LICLLAB luminaire is engineered around these four principles — without compromise, without exception.
Solution 01
Anti-Glare Honeycomb
Honeycomb louvers reduce direct LED source visibility, dramatically cutting glare while maintaining full luminous output.
- Reduced upward light emission
- Significant glare reduction
- Improved pedestrian comfort
Solution 02
Optical Beam Control
Advanced precision lenses distribute light exactly where needed — nothing more, nothing less. Every photon placed with intention.
- Zero upward light emission
- Higher lighting efficiency
- Accurate architectural highlighting
Solution 03
Proper Lighting Direction
Luminaire orientation ensures light reaches only the intended surface. Every beam angle engineered with purpose and accountability.
- No upward light emission
- Controlled beam angles
- Shielding where necessary
Solution 04
Warm Colour Temperature
Outdoor luminaires designed at ≤2700K CCT — warm amber tones that minimise ecological disruption and maintain night ambience.
- Reduce environmental impact
- Improve night-time comfort
- Maintain natural night ambience
All LICLLAB outdoor luminaires are engineered at or below 2700 Kelvin, placing them deep in the ecologically responsible amber spectrum.
Not a single lumen escapes upward. Our optical systems are designed so that every photon illuminates the intended surface, not the sky.
Sky★
Our design philosophy aligns with international Dark Sky standards, making LICLLAB products the natural choice for sensitive environments.
LICLLAB Philosophy
Light belongs
on the building.
Not the sky.
At LICLLAB we believe good lighting should be visible on the architecture, not in the sky. Our lighting systems are designed to illuminate only the intended surfaces, reduce glare for pedestrians and observers, minimise environmental impact, and preserve the visual quality of the night landscape.
— 01
Illuminate only the intended
Light reaches precisely the surfaces it is designed for — no spillage, no contamination of adjacent spaces or the sky above.
— 02
Reduce glare for all
Every luminaire is assessed for pedestrian comfort, ensuring visibility without discomfort at any viewing angle or distance.
— 03
Minimise environmental impact
From spectral composition to beam shaping, our products coexist with ecosystems rather than disrupt them.
— 04
Preserve the night landscape
The night sky is part of our cultural heritage. We design so that future generations can still look up and see the stars.

& Dark Sky
Studies confirm that lighting below 3000K dramatically reduces ecological disruption. LICLLAB outdoor luminaires are specified at ≤2700K — well within the responsible warm amber range endorsed by all major Dark Sky authorities.
