Scenario

A golf centre wants to extend opening hours into the evening. Its range backs onto a residential estate and lies under a protected dark-sky area.

Design logic

  • Narrow-beam stadium modules behind the tee line, aimed outwards with no upward component.
  • Down-range vertical illuminance checked so the ball can be followed in flight.
  • Sky-glow and boundary calculations included in the planning documents.
