The growing problem: light pollution in German cities
More and more cities in Germany are as bright as day at night – due to façade lighting, advertising installations, industrial facilities and traffic lighting. This so-called light pollution is an often underestimated environmental problem: it disturbs people, animals and entire ecosystems, while also impacting energy consumption and the climate.
Particularly affected are conurbations such as Hamburg, Berlin, Frankfurt am Main, Stuttgart and Munich, as well as their metropolitan regions – for example, the Rhine-Main area, the Stuttgart region, the greater Munich area, the Hamburg metropolitan region and the Berlin area.
Light and Sign GmbH: Solutions against unnecessary light emission
As a specialist in sustainable outdoor lighting and illuminated advertising, Light and Sign GmbH develops intelligent systems that focus on visibility with environmental responsibility. Our LED solutions help companies and cities actively reduce light pollution – through modern technology, precise lighting control and sophisticated design.
Our approaches to reducing light emissions
1. Targeted light control instead of scattered loss
We rely on shielded light fixtures and precise light control – this directs the light to where it is needed.
2. Smart control via sensors and time logic
Our systems enable motion-controlled lighting, time-controlled or brightness-dependent dimming, or automatic switch-off outside of usage times – all in the spirit of sustainability and cost efficiency.
3. Energy-efficient LED technology
Our modern LED solutions save up to 80% electricity compared to conventional lighting – while generating less light emission and CO₂ emissions.
For companies, cities and construction projects throughout Germany
Whether you work in Berlin-Mitte, Frankfurt-Sachsenhausen, Stuttgart-Vaihingen, Munich-Schwabing, Hamburg-Altona or an industrial area in Ludwigsburg, Offenbach, Potsdam or Augsburg – light pollution is an issue everywhere.
Light and Sign manages projects throughout Germany – from public buildings and car parks to petrol stations, advertising spaces and retail outlets to logistics centres, railway stations and wholesale markets. We consistently focus on environmentally friendly planning, compliance with legal guidelines and the combination of visibility and sustainability.
Conclusion: Light that shows consideration – in Hamburg, Berlin, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Munich and everywhere in between
Illuminated advertising does not necessarily mean environmental pollution. With its innovative solutions, Light and Sign GmbH demonstrates that aesthetic outdoor lighting, brand visibility and sustainable urban development can be combined perfectly.
Whether in large cities, surrounding regions or rural industrial areas, we assist companies and local authorities in protecting the environment, saving energy and complying with legal requirements for light pollution through intelligent lighting design.
