Value of Lighting

LightingEurope advocates for #BetterLighting. Light enables vision, it helps us navigate our surroundings and makes us feel safe. But light can do so much more.

By leveraging the potential of #Betterlighting, we combine the visual, biological, and emotional benefits of light to also support people’s health, well-being and performance. Good lighting provides the right light, at the right place and the right time for the activities we carry out each and every day whether we are at home, school, hospital, offices or on the street.

#BetterLighting is enabled by lighting systems that combine controls and sensors with smartness. Intelligent lighting systems can not only deliver significant additional energy savings but also make our environment more attractive and functional by allowing users to dynamically adapt light to specific needs.

LightingEurope’s role

LightingEurope’s Value of Lighting Working Group proactively engages with EU regulators to help shape policies and requirements so that EU legislation will recognize the value of lighting to society and to create the conditions to provide an indoor and outdoor environment that is not only energy efficient but is also better for people.
