Peter Earle
Fellow of The Society of Light and Lighting
With a career spanning music, technology startups, and global lighting brands, Peter Earle FSLL has spent decades exploring how light shapes human experience. After founding and selling an innovative LED lighting company, he went on to work with some of the world’s most influential lighting organisations, deepening both his expertise and his conviction that light has the power to transform environments and wellbeing. Today, Peter works independently with leading global brands and ambitious technology startups, guiding them through pivotal moments of growth and innovation. He is drawn to organisations with bold ideas and the courage to rethink what lighting can be. His philosophy is simple yet profound: DO NO HARM. In practice, this principle becomes a catalyst for designing lighting solutions that consistently DO BETTER—enhancing wellbeing, performance, and the spaces we inhabit. Peter’s work champions the concept of light recipes—the intentional delivery of visual and non-visual spectral ingredients carried by photons—to benefit humans and all living creatures. He envisions a future where lighting is recognised not as a cost to be minimised, but as an investment in human potential: an asset capable of enriching lives, supporting health, and enhancing how people work, learn, heal, and thrive. A published author, respected industry contributor, and experienced speaker, Peter is an elected Fellow of The Society of Light and Lighting and a Freeman of The Worshipful Company of Lightmongers. When not shaping the future of light, Peter composes and performs music, collects guitars and audio equipment, runs an art lifestyle business, and finds inspiration in wild swimming, travel, boating, and yachting
