The bat-friendly lighting switch project was a collaboration between Worcestershire County Council and Jacobs, with an aim to reduce human impact on local wildlife with a major highway.

Conventional street lights might interfere bat’s night behaviors and their insect prey which tend to congregate around the lights. The bat-friendly lights, instead, use special light recipe to avoid disruption on bat’s feeding habits and flying.

The unique night recipe will not affect visibility for road users and pedestrians while create a friendly environment for local wildlife. The bat-friendly lights installation will extend to the connection of nearby cities.
