Andrew Bates

Associate Director - Lighting

Andrew Bates is the Lighting Lead at Red Sea Global, where he works with leading international lighting consultants and hospitality brands to ensure compliance with the company's Dark Sky Guidelines, which limit light pollution across its destinations. He oversees both interior and exterior lighting strategies, shaping a continuous night-time experience that runs between buildings and the natural surroundings of the company's Red Sea coast destinations. That remit places him among the speakers closest to the lighting sector's own subject matter, combining the demands of luxury hospitality with environmental sustainability requirements on one of the Kingdom's largest tourism developments.
