CONNECTION AND PLACE The backbone of any society is mobility. Without the ability to travel, people and places can suffer economically and socially and can miss out on important cultural influences from the world outside.

By land, air and sea we move around our planet, experiencing places new and old, making connections and building spaces for ourselves and our families to thrive. Whether metropolitan or rolling hills, our homes and our work span the full spectrum of ‘liveable’ places, each with their own unique needs and nuances.

Our task is to ensure that we make our places safe, inclusive, and accessible for our entire society by providing the right light where it is needed and at the right time so we can all navigate our environments without difficulty.

Supporting such varied needs whilst maintaining the best possible outcomes for the planet is no easy ask. We are here to guide you through the process, to support you through your projects and to help help you to make the best decisions for people and planet.

A deep green lighting service We are more than just green... we love to design high performance lighting, but an efficient space isn’t any good if no one wants to be there.

A good design requires clear concepts, thorough documentation and solid execution, and we are just as committed to making spaces beautiful and efficient.

Introba provides a bespoke lighting design service, fully integrated into each environment, holistically built into the architecture of a place; creating spaces that are inspiring, effective and beautiful, with technical expertise in every fibre of our designs.

Design Lighting design is often the last thought in a project, but no matter where we come in, we will always work to provide solutions that work for you, the end user and the wider environment.

Whether designing complex junctions, remote roads, dense housing estates or sprawling parks, we start in the same place: What is the right amount of light?

Where is it needed most?

When should we be applying artificial light to the area?

LIGHT STUDIO MINIGUIDE 09 | HIGHWAY & LOCAL AUTHORITY

Section 38 A new area that is not currently adopted highway. We take these principles and design a sensitive scheme that looks after future residents, current flora and fauna and is in the best interests of the adopting authority.

Section 278 Existing roads need a different treatment. We make sure that our design works with the existing lighting installation and the proposed S38 design to create seamless transitions between old and new.

Assessment Lighting is also in need of assessing from time to time, often to confirm that wildlife are not impacted or to check that installations are performing as expected. We provide these services and more, to provide real world information about sites and projects.

Site Inspections

Excerpt from site survey notes

Every accessible site should be subject to a survey. We provide this service, noting visual inspections, asset information, power supplies, private networks and site hazards, as well as inspecting trial holes and site works to report back to the Authority. All our surveyors are experienced on site and hold, as a minimum, a CSCS Professionally Qualified Person Card and G39.

Photometric Surveys

Photometric measurement on site

Photometric assessments, often called TR28 surveys are used to take measurements from existing installations and to determine if it is correct, as installed or if there may be obtrusive light issues in the area. We take measurements at ground level and specific vertical points to provide robust information on true site conditions.

Lighting Impact Assessments Where there is light, there is a potential for poorly designed or installed units that risk causing a nuisance. To make sure that we are meeting our obligations to people and planet, we can provide site based and desk top assessments such as lighting impact and baseline assessments to ILP PLG 04, modelling, and obtrusive lighting assessments to ILP GN 01.

Illuminated Advertisement Assessments

Illuminated Advertisement Assessments

Similarly to the photometric assessments, sometimes there is a need to assess potential impacts from advertising, signs or screens. We use calibrated specialist luminance meters to measure and assess the brightness of the sign to support planning applications, environmental health and other such advisory requirements.

Technology Advisory Whether it’s questions about legislation, standards or best practice we are here to help and guide you every step of the way.

A Bright Future Lighting for communities provides safety, security and wayfinding to users as they make their way through a space.

Designed well, spaces surrounding buildings, pathways, pedestrian areas, soft and hard landscaping, can both guide and reassure users, whilst contributing positively to the nighttime environment and economy, making the space a destination in itself.

We encourage and support great lighting design, assessment and decision making across all facets of the lit environment. We would be delighted to help you do the same.
