What is lighting?

Natural Devon

Lighting has revolutionised our lives but do we really understand how it works and how our choices affect the environment and ourselves?

Do you know the difference between a lumen and lux? Do you know how LED&#x27;s work differently to Halogen bulbs? But most importantly, do you know how out lighting choices can impact the wildlife around us. In this talk as part of a series by Natural Devon&#x27;s Dark Skies Week, Bonnie Brooks will provide the answer to some of these questions, covering the basics of the lighting that surrounds us in an engaging way, enabling us to make better choices in the future.Bonnie is a chartered electrical engineer and lighting specialist with over fifteen years’ experience working within the industry. She has an MSc in Light and Lighting, and specialises in interior / exterior lighting design and daylighting design. Developing concept to detailed designs, producing detailed surveys, reports and 3D modelling. She specialises in producing Lighting Impact Assessments to accompany planning applications. Assessing and advising on mitigation of the effects from both internal and external lighting on the environment and ecological sensitivities. She has also contributed to much of the guidance surrounding artificial lighting and bats, with a particular passion for the effects of lighting on wildlife and the environment.This is part of a series of talks hosted by Natural Devon as part of the Devon Dark Skies week 2020 (23rd October to 30th October).
