Lighting design to protect the night.   
And experiences to remember why.

Lightbahn is a lighting design and research practice working at the intersection of artificial light, natural night, and human experience.

We help people and places make better decisions about darkness.

The night sustains more than we typically credit it with. Ecological systems, biological rhythms, cultural identities, astronomical conditions, the physical character of a place after dark. All of it alive, all of it in relationship, all of it shaped by how much or how little light we choose to introduce.

Our work begins by understanding the full texture of what a place's night already is, the design emerges from that evidence.

Whether you are planning a development, managing a municipality or hosting a nocturnal experience; lets talk about responsible lighting design.
