Light is essential for safety and function, but excessive or misdirected outdoor lighting can harm ecosystems, disrupt wildlife, and contribute to light pollution. At WE-EF, our night-sensitive lighting solutions provide a sustainable approach to outdoor illumination – reducing light spill, improving energy efficiency, and respecting the balance between human needs and the natural environment.

WE-EF’s commitment to Night Sensitive Lighting
Our luminaires are designed not only to last but to minimize their environmental impact during use. Night Sensitive Lighting addresses the way light is used outdoors, balancing visual needs with the non-visual effects of light on humans, animals, plants, and the night sky. Our advanced LED optics and integrated light shields help prevent stray light and protect ecosystems.
Efficiency and precision
We prioritize light quality and precision, directing light only where it’s needed.
DarkSky certification
Many of our luminaires are certified by the International DarkSky Association (IDA), ensuring they meet the strictest standards for reducing light pollution.
Control and connectivity
Our luminaires integrate smart control systems for responsive dimming and adaptive lighting that reduces energy consumption and environmental impact. These systems allow for precise control, ensuring that light is used only when necessary.
Warm color temperatures
We offer tailored luminaires with warm color temperatures (2200 K and PC True Amber) to minimize impact on wildlife, ensuring that light pollution is kept to a minimum.
Products for Night Sensitive Lighting
WE-EF’s product portfolio includes a range of luminaires designed to protect nighttime ecosystems while providing reliable, efficient lighting for both urban and natural spaces.
Smart technologies for Night Sensitive Lighting
WE-EF integrates advanced technology into its luminaires to ensure they are both energy efficient and environmentally sensitive. Our technologies include:
Eco Step Dim®
Motion sensors
Smart controls
Case study: Penguin Parade at Phillip Island
At the Penguin Parade in an Australian nature reserve, WE-EF's innovative use of PC amber LEDs minimized the impact on local wildlife, reducing blue light exposure while ensuring safe illumination for visitors. The project also employed WE-EF's ADSA Wildlife Prized luminaires, further reducing light pollution and protecting the natural environment. Our highly customizable luminaires enabled a solution that respects the nighttime ecosystem, demonstrating WE-EF's flexibility in meeting the demands of sensitive environments.
