Lighting and Energy Solutions

 WSP’s Lighting and Energy Solutions team provides comprehensive lighting engineering and design services for all aspects of light and lighting.   

We work with both public and private sector clients, specialising in interior and exterior projects across the UK and internationally.

Our lighting design solutions aim not only to be visually captivating to sit suitably within the environment in which they are located by being buildable, maintainable, and embracing new technologies. We consider the key environmental factors – the use of energy and carbon to support our clients in achieving Net-Zero and decarbonisation targets, as well as ecological factors relating to wildlife and obtrusive light.
