Complying with the strictest environmental regulations
Each country, if not each region, has its own environmental regulations. They can be more or less strict and focus on certain specific criteria. All of them are largely inspired by the EU green public procurement policy for road lighting, issued in 2019.
Regulation strives to: Limit ULOR to max. 1%;
Reduce glare: at least 95% of the light emission is confined to angles below 14.5 degrees from the horizontal; Restrict the emission of blue light with CCT <3000K; Restrain the amount of light to less than 35lm/m 2 ; Prohibit intrusive lighting towards dwellings and any kind of lighting of waterways and the sea.
Preserving the ecosystem
The PureNight certification software developed by Schréder guarantees that your lighting solution satisfies environmental laws and requirements . Schréder has its own certified laboratory and is also endorsed by numerous independent certification bodies.
Fauna and flora can suffer from high light intensity, the colour spectrum (blue light) and excessive lighting over time. Only experts can minimise the disturbance to the different species of fish, insects and endangered animals . Trees and hedgerows are natural environments for bats, while rivers and canals are also important for foraging. Certain species of bat are very sensitive to light. Light pollution, i.e. excessive lighting and uncontrolled light spill, contributes significantly to insect mortality. The Schréder PureNight photometry meets dark- sky specifications (0% ULOR and 2200K) and takes advantage of accessories (backlight control and glare limiter) to focus the light only where it is needed. Schréder’s FlexiWhite solution combines dimming and colour temperature changes according to fixed or on-demand scenarios with sensors for safe and environmentally-friendly lighting . The IP 66 design of our luminaires prevent insects from entering and being captured in the housing. With low driving current, the outer surface of the housing maintains a low temperature, preventing insects from dying from the heat. With the right luminaire design, photometry, colour temperature and dimming scenario, we protect wildlife and contribute to the preservation of the ecosystem.
