Tamlite CPD Modules
Regaining
Dark Skies
Light pollution affects ecosystems, wellbeing and our view of the stars. This CPD explores how lighting professionals can design responsibly to restore the night sky. Drawing on DarkSky International guidance, LG21 and UK planning frameworks, the session explains the four main types of light pollution and how to minimise them through optics, shielding, dimming and warm white colour temperature. Discover how good exterior design can reduce obtrusive light, save energy, and enhance biodiversity while supporting community safety and comfort.
Shedding Light on Data Centres
Data centres are the backbone of the digital world, and one of the fastest-growing sources of global energy consumption. This CPD examines the essential role lighting plays in their safe, efficient and sustainable operation.
Explore how luminaires perform in high heat environments, the impact of containment strategies such as hot and cold aisle design, and how lighting can integrate with critical systems including security, CCTV and emergency backup. Learn how to balance energy efficiency with the unique visual and operational requirements of server rooms, control spaces and maintenance areas.
The session also looks at human centric lighting in windowless environments and how advanced controls can improve safety, comfort and compliance in mission critical facilities.
Lighting for Wellbeing
Light affects every aspect of our wellbeing, from mood and productivity to sleep and recovery. This CPD explores the science behind lighting for wellbeing, focusing on the connection between light, circadian rhythms, and hormonal balance.
You’ll discover how colour temperature, intensity, and spectral distribution impact alertness and health across offices, schools, and industrial settings. The session also examines how dynamic lighting, daylight integration, and the WELL Building Standard can improve wellbeing and business performance.
Gain a deeper understanding of how to design spaces that actively support human health, boost engagement, and reduce stress-related absence through effective, sustainable lighting design.
Emergency
Lighting
Emergency lighting plays a vital role in life safety, yet many installations fall short of full compliance. This CPD highlights the most frequent design and specification errors, from incorrect luminaire types and testing regimes to misinterpretation of UK standards such as BS 5266, BS EN 1838 and the Fire Safety Act.
You’ll learn how to identify and avoid these pitfalls, ensure effective escape and safety lighting, and meet your legal responsibilities with confidence. Ideal for designers, consultants, contractors and facilities managers responsible for safe, compliant environments.
Lighting for Education
Good lighting can transform how students learn, behave and feel. This CPD explores the relationship between lighting, wellbeing and educational performance, from daylight access and circadian rhythms to artificial lighting and controls.
Backed by current research, the session highlights how light influences hormone balance, mood and concentration, as well as the key design challenges in reducing glare, managing heat and supporting energy efficiency. It also looks at inclusive design for neurodiverse learners, exploring how colour, flicker, acoustics and intensity can affect sensory comfort.
Attendees will gain practical insight into creating learning environments that are both sustainable and supportive, with recommendations for LED specification, dimming, and smart control integration across new and existing schools.
Circular Economy
for Luminaires
The lighting sector is changing, from a linear ‘make use dispose’ model to a circular, sustainable approach. This CPD explains what the circular economy means for lighting design and manufacture, referencing TM65, TM66, the CEAM assessment method and the TM66 Assured Scheme.
You’ll learn how to measure embodied carbon, specify circular products, and apply design for disassembly principles to extend luminaire life. Understand how reuse, remanufacture and responsible sourcing support the UK’s Net Zero goals while driving innovation and long-term value for clients and specifiers alike.
Optics
Optical design defines how light is distributed, controlled, and perceived. This CPD explores the crucial role optics play in both interior and exterior lighting, influencing performance, efficiency, and visual comfort.
Learn how reflection, refraction, and diffusion work within luminaires to manage light precisely, reducing glare indoors and obtrusive light outdoors. The session explains how to interpret polar curves, select the right optic for each application, and meet ILP GN01 guidance on light pollution. It also highlights how optical control can improve wellbeing, safety, and aesthetics across offices, retail, and urban environments.
Attendees will gain practical insight into achieving visual harmony, energy efficiency, and compliance through effective optical specification.
SLL Lighting Handbook
The SLL Lighting Handbook remains the definitive industry reference for lighting design, combining technical guidance, best practice, and design principles for every application.
This CPD provides an accessible overview of the handbook’s structure, key chapters, and its relevance to modern design challenges, from daylighting and circadian lighting to maintenance and sustainability.
You’ll learn how the guide supports compliance with UK standards, promotes coordination between services, and integrates evolving technologies such as LED and smart controls. Ideal for engineers, designers, and specifiers, this session equips attendees with a deeper understanding of how to apply the SLL framework to ensure safe, efficient, and visually balanced lighting solutions.
