Public Sector Lighting Design

Lighting Design That Supports Safety, Accessibility and Community Use

Public sector lighting projects demand solutions that are efficient, reliable, and sensitive to both people and place. At Lumenata, we understand the diverse requirements of working with councils, educational institutions, and public bodies, delivering lighting designs that improve functionality, safety, and community value.

Our work combines technical expertise with a collaborative approach, ensuring compliance with local planning, environmental, and sustainability standards. Whether the goal is to revitalise a public building, create safer outdoor environments, or enhance civic spaces, our designs focus on longevity, performance, and user experience.

Smart, Sustainable, and Inclusive Lighting Solutions

Effective public sector lighting design should:

Improve visibility and comfort for staff, visitors, and the community

Meet environmental and energy-efficiency targets through modern LED and control systems

Reflect the character and purpose of the space while supporting accessibility

Reduce maintenance and long-term running costs

Align with ecological and dark-sky considerations where appropriate

Our Public Sector Lighting Experience

Lumenata has contributed to a variety of public sector projects, ranging from civic buildings and schools to community spaces and outdoor facilities. Our experience includes:

The Armitt, Cumbria

At the Armitt Museum in Ambleside, Lumenata designed a flexible lighting scheme capable of adapting to constantly changing exhibitions and display layouts. The solution provides controllable, high-quality illumination that protects sensitive artefacts while ensuring every new arrangement is beautifully presented. This adaptable approach helps the museum maintain a dynamic, engaging visitor experience throughout the year.

Lostock Academy, Lancashire

At Lostock Academy, energy efficiency was the driving priority. Lumenata delivered a cost-effective, low-energy lighting design that reduces running costs and improves visual comfort across teaching spaces, circulation areas and external zones. The project demonstrates how smart lighting choices can enhance the learning environment while helping schools meet tight operational budgets and sustainability goals.

Royal Preston Hospital, Lancashire

At Royal Preston Hospital’s A&E entrance, Lumenata created a welcoming and reassuring lighting scheme for the new canopy structure. The design enhances visibility, supports patient and visitor comfort and offers clear wayfinding at all hours. By balancing practicality with a calm, inviting aesthetic, the lighting plays a vital role in improving the first impression of this busy emergency care facility.
