Outdoor lighting should be seen as a tool to enrich human experience and enhance the nighttime urban landscape, without disrupting the natural processes that sustain life. A planning approach that integrates environmental and social criteria enables lighting to provide safety and comfort while reinforcing the unique character of each place, always with the utmost respect for biodiversity.<\/p>\n","repeater_textos_left_luz_space_urbano":[{"title_item_luz_space_urbano":"Environmental impact of outdoor lighting","texto_item_luz_space_urbano":"
The spectrum and tone of artificial nighttime light shape the relationship between human activity and the natural world.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Cool colour temperatures (with a high blue content, above 4,000 K) tend to disrupt the circadian rhythms of living organisms. In humans, this type of light can suppress melatonin production, disrupt sleep, and affect mood. In wildlife, such as birds, cool light can disrupt dawn choruses, alter mating cycles, or even interfere with migratory patterns.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Warm colour temperatures (with predominantly amber and reddish tones, below 3,000 K) are gentler on biological rhythms. In humans, they promote relaxation and rest, as their spectrum more closely resembles that of natural sunset light. Longer wavelengths, such as amber tones, attract fewer insects, reducing disruption to their natural paths and lowering mortality, which helps preserve their vital roles as pollinators and ecological regulators.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Plants, meanwhile, can interpret artificial light as a seasonal shift, altering flowering periods and leaf growth. This effect, combined with changes in bird and insect behaviour, directly affects the balance of urban ecosystems.<\/p>\n"},{"title_item_luz_space_urbano":"Conscious and responsible lighting","texto_item_luz_space_urbano":"
Truly responsible outdoor lighting combines technology, design, and ecology to minimise environmental impact. A thoughtful approach allows us to balance human needs with biodiversity preservation and night sky protection.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Light should be used only when necessary and for a clear purpose, precisely directed to the areas that need illumination while avoiding unnecessary spill. Keeping brightness levels moderate and adjusting intensity to the minimum required, with the help of control systems such as timers or motion sensors, helps reduce the impact on nature.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Choosing warmer tones with a lower proportion of blue light helps protect biodiversity and the natural rhythms of all living beings. Our commitment is to support cities and projects in their transition toward more conscious and environmentally responsible lighting.<\/p>\n"}],"texto_ilum_nocturna_luz_space_urbano":"NIGHT-TIME LIGHTING","textos_lateral_top_bottom_imagen_luz_space_urbano":[{"texto_alrededor_imagen_laterales_luz_space_urbano":"COOL"},{"texto_alrededor_imagen_laterales_luz_space_urbano":"GREATER DISRUPTION"},{"texto_alrededor_imagen_laterales_luz_space_urbano":"COLOUR TEMPERATURE"},{"texto_alrededor_imagen_laterales_luz_space_urbano":"IMPACT ON BIODIVERSITY"},{"texto_alrededor_imagen_laterales_luz_space_urbano":"WARM"},{"texto_alrededor_imagen_laterales_luz_space_urbano":"MAXIMUM RESPECT"}],"textos_valores_imagenes_luz_space_urbano_copy":[{"texto_valor_luz_space_urbano":"\u2015 4000K"},{"texto_valor_luz_space_urbano":"\u2015 3000K"},{"texto_valor_luz_space_urbano":"\u2015 2700K"},{"texto_valor_luz_space_urbano":"\u2015 2200K"},{"texto_valor_luz_space_urbano":"\u2015 PC AMBER"},{"texto_valor_luz_space_urbano":"\u2015 RED"}],"repeater_elemetos_bg_dinamic":[{"grupo_elementos_bg_dinamic":{"texto_left_top_item_bg_dinamic":"Standard warm white","texto_center_top_item_bg_dinamic":"3000K","texto_rigth_item_bg_dinamic":"CRI 70\/80","valor_bolita_item_bg_dinamic":"3000K","texto_center_bottom_item_bg_dinamic":"Streets, pedestrian areas, and commercial zones.","imagen_item_bg_dinamic":"https:\/\/www.urbidermis.com\/recursos\/imagenes_galeria\/Temperaturas-de-color-30-x2400.png\n"}},{"grupo_elementos_bg_dinamic":{"texto_left_top_item_bg_dinamic":"Soft warm white","texto_center_top_item_bg_dinamic":"2700K","texto_rigth_item_bg_dinamic":"CRI 70","valor_bolita_item_bg_dinamic":"2700K","texto_center_bottom_item_bg_dinamic":"Residential areas, parks and meeting squares, and rural zones.","imagen_item_bg_dinamic":"https:\/\/www.urbidermis.com\/recursos\/imagenes_galeria\/Temperaturas-de-color-27-x2400.png\n"}},{"grupo_elementos_bg_dinamic":{"texto_left_top_item_bg_dinamic":"Soft amber white","texto_center_top_item_bg_dinamic":"2200K","texto_rigth_item_bg_dinamic":"CRI 70","valor_bolita_item_bg_dinamic":"2200K","texto_center_bottom_item_bg_dinamic":"Natural or heritage environments and transition areas between countryside and city.","imagen_item_bg_dinamic":"https:\/\/www.urbidermis.com\/recursos\/imagenes_galeria\/Temperaturas-de-color-22-x2400.png\n"}},{"grupo_elementos_bg_dinamic":{"texto_left_top_item_bg_dinamic":"Amber LED for sensitive environments","texto_center_top_item_bg_dinamic":"PC Amber","texto_rigth_item_bg_dinamic":"CRI 40","valor_bolita_item_bg_dinamic":"PC Amber","texto_center_bottom_item_bg_dinamic":"Areas with nocturnal wildlife, urban wetlands, or natural parks within the city.","imagen_item_bg_dinamic":"https:\/\/www.urbidermis.com\/recursos\/imagenes_galeria\/Temperaturas-de-color-PC-x2400.png\n"}},{"grupo_elementos_bg_dinamic":{"texto_left_top_item_bg_dinamic":"LED for ultra-sensitive environments","texto_center_top_item_bg_dinamic":"RED","texto_rigth_item_bg_dinamic":"CRI 40","valor_bolita_item_bg_dinamic":"RED","texto_center_bottom_item_bg_dinamic":"Areas with environmental protection or nocturnal wildlife crossings.","imagen_item_bg_dinamic":"https:\/\/www.urbidermis.com\/recursos\/imagenes_galeria\/Temperaturas-de-color-RED-x2400.png\n"}}],"title_content_project_luminics":"Lighting projects","texto_introduccion_project_luminics":"

This is difficult. In urban and high-traffic areas we will always need light.
