| Light Years Ahead Ltd (LYA), based in Suffolk UK, is a specialist lighting manufacturer and is established as leading the field in Custodial Lighting Design and Hospital Lighting Design. The development of the PROTECTALUX range of lighting has been instrumental in setting the latest standards for Custodial Lighting Design generally, and Prison Lighting Design for the Safer Cell initiative in particular. Custodial Lighting Design covers the specific, and individual, lighting recommendations for UK prisons, police, court and immigration detention cells, the standards for which are detailed in Home Office Guidelines PD3.13.39 and HM Prison Service Safer Cell Guide for Prison Lighting Design. Custodial Lighting Design also covers highly secure Mental Healthcare facilities within the scope of Hospital Lighting Design, and PROTECTALUX luminaires are at the forefront of combating Death in Custody in all Home Office building stock throughout the UK. There are unique lighting requirements for Prison Lighting Design that address the needs of the long-term occupancy of prison cells rather than the relative short-term occupancy of police, courts and immigration cells. The latter accommodation, however, needs to address the question of lack of detailed background knowledge of possibly vulnerable occupants. In short, this area of lighting has become a specialist subject, requiring specialist lighting manufacturers, such as Light Years Ahead, to satisfy exacting demands. ROTALUX luminaires have been designed for general Hospital Lighting Design offering unique rotational and multi-control features for wards, A&E, maternity and ITU facilities. Light Years Ahead (LYA).
