Research does not have any impact if the results are not implemented. Scientific publications are not easily accessible or easily interpreted by the general public or the people making the decisions that depend on this research. Many organisations, municipalities but also private companies want to minimize the impact of their illumination, or are forced to do so by legislation, but do not have the knowledge to do so.  Furthermore there is a lot of unreliable information in the market, not based on proper scientific experiments. 
As independent consultant I can help to bridge the gap between science and practice by translating the progress in the scientific field into advice and considerations for practical applications. I’ve given lectures on artificial light, ecology and protected species for audiences of civil servants and lighting professionals and taught a one day course on this topic. I combine my knowledge on Artificial light with my expertise on (Dutch) legislation on nature conservation.
If you have questions considering the ecological impact of artificial light feel free to can contact me using the form on this website. Short advice or clarification is free of charge. When more in-depth advice or a significant contribution to outdoor lighting plans is needed an estimate of costs can be given.
