About Spaces At Night
Public lighting consultants with purpose.
Experience & Professional Standing
Spaces At Night is an independent lighting consultancy based in Victoria, specialising in lighting compliance, audits, and technical advisory services for public spaces, infrastructure, sport, and illuminated signage.
Our experience spans council assets, transport infrastructure, sporting facilities, commercial developments, and complex planning-controlled environments. We regularly support councils, engineers, installers, signage contractors, and developers with defensible assessments, clear documentation, and practical advice aligned with Australian Standards and regulatory requirements.
All assessments are undertaken using calibrated measurement equipment and industry-standard lighting software, with reporting prepared to withstand planning, compliance, and peer review scrutiny.
Spaces At Night maintains professional membership (MIES) with the Illuminating Engineering Society of Australia and New Zealand (IESANZ) and remains actively engaged with contemporary lighting standards, guidance notes, and environmental lighting best practice. Other professional membership include International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD) and DarkSky International organisation. This ensures our advice is technically sound, current, and independent of product supply or installation interests.
Our team is trusted for our technical clarity and fast turnaround. We support designers, project managers, and asset owners with lighting that works – and works within the rules.
As public lighting consultants, we support projects from early planning through to post-installation audits, helping clients meet both regulatory and energy performance goals.
Let’s light your space, the right way.
