Lighting Solutions That Protect Our Night Skies

Three tiers make it easy to choose the right solution for any space:

1. ADSA Approved delivers trusted best practice lighting for everyday areas, reducing glare and waste.

2. ADSA Prized celebrates precision designed luminaires that go further, ideal for heritage sites, astrotourism hotspots, and sensitive corridors.

3. ADSA Prized for Wildlife offers the highest level of environmental care, created with ecologists to protect habitats and species that depend on darkness. Whatever your space, our endorsements guide you to lighting that’s better for people, wildlife, and the planet.
