Lorraine and her company “it does Lighting Ltd” have been working closely with us since the beginning of 2012 and this has proved of great benefit. Lorraine has contributed to the new Secured by Design lighting guidance for streets and outdoor spaces and helped to shape that document for imminent release. To help our officers implement the changes Lorraine recently presented a series of workshops at our National Training Event on the technical detail of the new British Standard for street lighting (BS5489:2013) which included guidance on the basics of lighting. We will continue to work with Lorraine and seek her assistance on future lighting guidance documents and look forward to a long a fruitful working relationship.

I worked with Lorraine Calcott in our early days as young lighting engineers within Thorn Lighting UK, and realized then that she would enjoy a fulfilled career in lighting. She has shown over the years and proven her ability to really understand lighting and its application. She was a joy to work with and fully recommend her in any aspect of lighting. Hopefully her expertise can spread further afield including Australia.

Lorraine was helping the ‘transformation of thinking’ for a unitary council, introducing excellent VfM solutions, streets ahead of cutting edge concepts being designed nine years later! She understands Street Lighting from a wide array of perspectives, seeing the whole issue, not simply compliance with specifications, to simply enable cost effective change. If you have a need and can’t design to it, or afford it, give her a call.

Lorraine responded very quickly and produced a quality report for a proposed retail development in Essex, which was accepted by the Planning Department. Thanks Lorraine.
