Artifical Light at Night: The Future of Outdoor Lighting
27.10.2026 | 3:00 PM CET | 45 Minutes
Artificial light at night is an integral part of our built environment. But how much light do we actually need? How can lighting designers create outdoor spaces that feel safe and inviting while also reducing unnecessary light emission?
In the next episode of DIAL Spotlight, we’ll be sitting down with Artem Masorin from the VDE to discuss artificial lighting at night and why it should be part of the sustainability debate, why more light doesn’t necessarily lead to greater safety, and what practical design strategies can be used today to minimize unwanted light emissions.
In addition, we explore the role of luminaires and independent certifications, current trends observed by the VDE, and how outdoor lighting might evolve over the next five to ten years.
