Safety
Wild-Light: fostering Biodiversity and minimising Light Pollution


Precise and purposeful lighting
WE-EF’s advanced optical systems ensure light is directed only where needed, minimising waste and reducing light pollution through dark-sky optics and targeted illumination.
Smart energy management
Integrated control systems like Zhaga, NEMA, and CityGrid enable intelligent operation, ensuring luminaires are used only when necessary, optimising energy consumption for sustainable efficiency.
Eco-friendly color temperatures
With reduced blue light in the spectrum and the innovative "Wild-Light" technology for dual-color temperatures, WE-EF prioritises both human well-being and the protection of light-sensitive ecosystems.

More Safety with layered lighting

Improve perceived safety through layers of light
Historically, brighter light was thought to enhance safety, but modern approaches show this isn’t the case. Spaces with warmer color temperatures and consistent, layered lighting—using multiple light sources and accounting for reflective surfaces—create a safer and more comfortable environment for everyone.

Zero Upward spill above 90° horizontal with IOS

IOS® LED optics
WE-EF’s IOS® system ensures full cut-off (ULOR = 0%), meaning no upward light output, minimising light pollution while precisely directing downward light. Optimised shielding and accessories ensure targeted, efficient illumination without unwanted spill.

OLCOne Led Concept

OLC® One LED Concept
WE-EF's LED lens systems use a multi-layer principle, where each LED creates layers for uniform, efficient illumination. This system ensures strict light control, minimises light pollution, and allows for easy modular LED replacement. OLC® technology provides a uniform, energy-saving lighting solution, particularly for street and area lighting, balancing safety, visual comfort and energy efficiency.
