RNL’s lighting design team is at the forefront of the latest lighting design research and looking at the application of different types of natural and artificial light and the impact on the occupant.

Understanding what’s happening in our communities, and the impact we can have on them, is pivotal to our success as an industry. As a B Corp, we’re committed to using our business as a force for good, taking the same passion that drives us to be a leader in sustainability and transportation to movements like the B Corp Inclusion Challenge.
