All About Bats
Bats are essential for the ecosystem but they face endangerment and a major factor is poorly designed external lighting.
Misplaced lights expose bats flight paths and feeding grounds, attracting predators and causing starvation.
Our mission is to design spaces that coexist with nature and protect these invaluable creatures.
We are using the latest technology to help create a balance between safety, aesthetic appeal and environmental responsibility.
Clarios light belt systems provides a safe and efficient way to add downlighting on trees. The flexible tree belt is not only weather and UV-resistant but also tree-friendly. EPDM material doesn’t damage the tree or hinder its growth, allowing the creation of a stunning illuminated canopy without compromising the health of trees.
The Clarios Flex Beam 2700K fitting – adjustable beam angle of 18-49° allows lighting to evolve in harmony with the garden as it grows.
For a more focused and fixed lighting solution, our Clarios Eco 2700K fixed beam fitting comes with honeycomb glare protection.
A FEW BAT-FRIENDLY TIPS FOR YOUR GARDEN LIGHTING
🦇 “Follow Bat Flight Paths”: Ensure lighting avoids their nesting and feeding zones to help preserve their habitat.
🦇 “Softer Hues”: Choose warmer 2700K or lower colour temperatures to minimise disruption to nature’s rhythms.
🦇 “Banish Glare”: Equip fixtures with anti-glare accessories to prevent bright, distracting light which can disorient wildlife.
🦇 “Light Low, Shine Down”: Position lights at lower levels and downwards to reduce light pollution and support natural nighttime environments.
🦇 “Avoid Floodlights”: Opt for restrained floodlighting to minimise unnecessary brightness and maintain a balanced environment.
🦇 Utilize PIR sensors to maintain lighting and security without overwhelming brightness, ensuring a harmonious balance with nature’s patterns.
