OBS Lighting – Independent Lighting Design Consultancy

OBS Lighting™ is a full-scope lighting design consultancy dedicated to creating beautiful, high-performing environments for the hospitality sector. From hospitality, to commercial, we work with developers, operators and architects to deliver lighting that elevates guest experience while meeting the energy, sustainability and compliance demands of modern buildings.

Our work spans four core areas:

Lighting Design Consultancy — We design interior, workplace, exterior and façade lighting schemes that balance atmosphere with function, supported by considered lighting control strategies that give operators precision over ambience, energy use and running costs.

Retrofit and Upgrade Strategy — For existing buildings, we deliver LED upgrades and refurbishments, energy and compliance improvements, and full existing building assessments — helping hotels reduce energy consumption and meet sustainability targets without disrupting operations or compromising design integrity.

Planning and Compliance — We support developments through Lighting Impact Assessments, planning support, and Dark Sky / light pollution studies, ensuring schemes meet regulatory requirements from the earliest stages of a project.

Specialist Projects — Beyond the building itself, we design landscape lighting, public realm schemes, and feature or experiential lighting that extends a property’s identity into its grounds and surroundings.

Across all of this, our philosophy stays consistent: improve building performance and reduce environmental impact, while preserving the visual comfort, character and atmosphere that make a space memorable. We work as an extension of our clients’ teams, lean, hands-on, and closely involved from concept through to completion.
