ADSA Approved Lighting: What it means, why it matters, and how to use it
As light pollution becomes a growing environmental, health, and planning concern, the need for trustworthy, night-safe lighting solutions is clearer than ever.
In this timely webinar, lighting professional and standards expert Landon Bannister introduces the ADSA Approved Lighting program – a new accreditation system designed to help specifiers, councils, and communities choose luminaires that meet the highest standards for dark sky protection.
Landon will walk you through:
- What qualifies a product for ADSA Approval
- How ADSA’s criteria align with AS/NZS 4282 and international best practice
- The importance of CCT, shielding, and spectral power distribution
- How approved luminaires support biodiversity, human wellbeing, and responsible planning
- How to interpret ADSA listings and integrate them into your lighting strategy or project tender
This session is ideal for lighting professionals, architects, engineers, planners, council asset managers, procurement officers, and anyone working to reduce light pollution through design and policy.
