C.Light.Wise shares knowledge and passion, inspires, develops lighting concepts, and creates lighting and illumination designs for indoor and outdoor spaces.
Fuelled by curiosity, I search for the connection between aesthetics and functionality in my designs. Shape, colour, materialization, surroundings, and the (intended) use of the space will be different every time, which makes every space unique.
I am convinced that the best designs and solutions originate from knowledge, an open mind, and the courage to collaborate.
Good lighting that fits the space and its user requires a specialized, focused approach. Therefore, it is important to go through several design phases. As an independent lighting designer, I work closely with my clients, project teams and contractors to guarantee the design in the end result.

Hoewel Carlijn voor ons al jaren een vaste waarde is op gebied van lichtontwerp werd de samenwerking extra intensief bij het ontwerp proces van de openbare verlichting voor het centrum van Nijmegen. Samen met Richard Out heeft ze de gebiedsanalyse en het uiteindelijke lichtontwerp gemaakt. Een duidelijke communicatie over wensen en eisen naar ons. Soepel waar het kon, strikt en to the point waar het moest, steeds weer met als gezamenlijk doel om een prachtig lichtontwerp te vertalen naar uiteindelijk een prachtig lichtbeeld met onze Opalume 500 armaturen voor staaldraad overspanning.

After receiving the green light for DARKER SKY – Interreg North Sea Project, the project officially started in Brest, France in September 2023. The aim of the project is to reduce light pollution in the North Sea region and contribute to the conservation of biodiversity and dark ecological corridors. The project runs until November 2026. The Frisian and Groningen partners are Landmakers Cooperatie U.A. (Holwerd), Van Hall Larenstein University of Applied Sciences (Leeuwarden), municipality of Heerenveen (Light Challenge ’25 by C.Light.Wise) and University of Groningen (in collaboration with the port of Lauwersoog).

Inspiration can be found everywhere, and sometimes we notice it in a way that touches us. This can happen with everyday things, in the most unexpected moments, and in locations that you select specifically for this reason. We like it or feel aversion, it challenges to think about it. That’s where inspiration grows.
