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.

We’ve worked with it does Lighting Ltd on a number of projects, and found the work imaginative, practical and efficient – A rare combination! Lorraine has an excellent product knowledge and contacts within the industry, and isn’t flustered by last minute design changes or shifting deadlines, essential attributes for complex and demanding projects. We highly recommend it does Lighting Ltd.

We have hired Lorraine on several occasions and will continue to do so due her high level of knowledge in lighting design and the quality of works she produces.

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.

Lorraine Calcott has worked with us, and our clients, on many lighting projects over several years and we have never failed to be impressed by her innovative approach and constructive advice when assisting clients to find the best solutions to their lighting needs. Lorraine’s professional, enthusiastic and detailed knowledge of lighting design and engineering has seen a number of clients adopting solutions which not only met their lighting needs but also fulfilled their desire to reduce their carbon footprint and improve the working environment. I would have no hesitation in recommending Lorraine and it does Lighting Ltd to any of our clients.
