CU Phosco, a UK exterior lighting manufacturer, has joined DarkSky UK as a Sustaining Member to support efforts to reduce light pollution and protect the night sky.
As part of the partnership, CU Phosco will take part in the DarkSky UK Conference 2025, Good Lighting: From Pollution to Solution, at Newcastle University on 9 September 2025.
The company will exhibit at the event and engage with lighting professionals, designers, research organisations, and policymakers to encourage wider adoption of dark sky-compliant lighting.
The conference is supported by organisations including the Institution of Lighting Professionals (ILP), the International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD), the Lighting Industry Association (LIA), the Society of Light and Lighting (SLL), the Electrical Contractors’ Association (ECA), and Dark Sky Discovery.
It aims to strengthen links between research, policy, and practice, and to promote compliant lighting as standard across the industry.
Matt Murray, Sales Director at CU Phosco, comments, “We’re very pleased to be supporting DarkSky UK and the important work they do to promote responsible, evidence-based lighting.
“As a UK manufacturer with several dark sky accredited products in our range, we’re committed to reducing light pollution and working collaboratively to improve the night-time environment.
“Supporting this initiative is a natural step for us and we look forward to sharing knowledge and engaging with partners across industry, design, and conservation at the 2025 conference.”
