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.

Lorraine is a forward thinking and very talented designer. It’s been my absolute pleasure to work with Lorraine. When we were going through really difficult time with illness at home this little lady appeared at my door with the biggest bunch of flowers you have ever seen. Both dawn and I have never forgotten that and the 200 mile trip behind it . In short, an awesome lady and an awesome designer too, always a pleasure to support in her design. No more to be said.

Bats were a major constraint at a recent housing project in Somerset and the preservation of well-used flight corridors linking multiple roosts was crucial for a successful planning outcome both for the client and for the bats. Despite being approached relatively late in the process, Lorraine pulled out the stops to help guide the developer and us ecologists through the potential minefield of lighting options across the site. The approved strategy which resulted achieved lighting levels no greater than at present across the site and avoids impacts on one of our rarest bat species. I look forward to working with Lorraine again on future tricky sites!

We have employed it does Lighting Ltd and Lorraine Calcott’s services on numerous lighting projects around the country which require lighting designs and input. These projects range from advice on small, local developments to full detailed lighting designs and illumination strategy on developments numbering several hundred units. The consistently high quality output and professional advice we receive, along with very competitive fees and always meeting our deadlines mean that we will continue to appoint it does Lighting Ltd in the future wherever possible.
