Lighting Design

Lighting Design starts with fittings, controls and useful illumination. The existing installation and actual requirement are assessed before repair, alteration or replacement is proposed.

When you may need lighting design

Symptoms and situations worth having checked

A room feels harshly lit?

Glare, beam angle and colour matter as much as brightness.

LEDs flicker or fail early?

Drivers, dimmers, heat, connections or supply variation may contribute.

Outdoor fittings take in water?

The enclosure or cable entry may not suit the exposure.

What the work can include

  • Review sensors and dimmers
  • Consider outdoor exposure
  • Plan light placement
  • Check circuit and controls
  • Assess fitting compatibility
