Lighting Design

Lighting design plays an essential role in any architectural or interior design project to achieve a fully functional, comfortable and aesthetic result.

Light influences us both physically and psychically. Although we only notice it when it bothers us, light can determine everything from mood to productivity and reducing mistakes. In the following, we will explain the stages of the process and the main factors that we must take into account depending on the project category.

Services

Our team of lighting design specialists advise you throughout the project, combining your wishes with the regulations given by standards and regulations but also with the aesthetic, cultural and technological factors according to the case. We consider the energy efficiency, quality of the lighting, cost, and quality of the lighting fixtures used. To bring the concept to implementation, our team has technical knowledge regarding market standards and trends, the latest lighting fixtures, photometric, energy, and control systems, but also architectural and aesthetic knowledge.

Industry

How can industrial lighting influence productivity, the accuracy of quality control, but also the safety and well-being of employees?

Example of church lighting. Lighting for religious building has different lighting scenes and lighting layers.

Hospitality

How do we create the right atmosphere through light to attract customers and delight them in all areas of this industry (restaurants, hotels, casinos, resorts, spas, etc.)?

Read more
Hospitality lighting includes restaurant lighting. There are bar lighting, table lighting, general lighting and accent lighting

Office

How can we create concepts based mainly on the visual comfort of employees? The lighting of office environments includes the facade of the building to the actual offices or conference rooms. In all these spaces, we ensure compliance with the circadian rhythm and save electricity!

Public Spaces

The lighting of the squares, the facades of the buildings, the parks, the bridges, briefly, the lighting of the urban landscape is included. How do we consider the needs of the area, the architectural features, the adjacent lights, and the restrictions to give people an authentic urban experience at night?

Lighting Needs

  1. The need for orientation in space
  2. The need for orientation in time (for example, jet lag occurs because the internal clock is no longer synchronized with the light perceived by the eyes)
  3. The need to understand the structure of shapes
  4. The need to keep our concentration during the activities carried out
  5. The need for personal space
  6. The need for visual stimulation
  7. The need for order
  8. The need for security

 

The steps to follow in the lighting design process

The lighting design process is complex because each project is different, having various variables, some of which are difficult to measure or simulate. To achieve the desired results, our designers follow some specific steps.

1. Project analysis

  • customer wishes and needs
  • BUDGET
  • SWOT analysis of current lighting
  • location analysis: materials, obstacles, reflective surfaces
  • mounting restrictions

2.Lighting Design Concept

  • stabilirea obiectivelor
  • crearea de schițe, moodboard-uri și mock up-uri
  • stabilirea ierarhiilor

3. Concept Check

  • Choosing lighting fixtures that match the concept from both a technical and aesthetic point of view. Among the technical characteristics of a lighting fixture that are taken into account in each project are: luminous flux, photometric distribution, power, efficiency, effectiveness, light temperature, and colour rendering index. The aesthetic factors include the shape of the light fixture housing, its material and finishes, and its size.
  • Lighting simulation that verifies compliance with the standards: the lighting of the task area, brightness index, contrast, uniformity, interaction with daylight, etc., using specialized software
  • Light design specialists also take care of suggesting control systems and sensors if applicable. They determine the best possible efficiency and maintenance based on the budget.

4. Lighting Fixture Manufacturing

  • the manufacturing of the lighting fixtures needed starts at this stage

5. Project Implementation

  • together with the lighting fixtures, we supply all necessary plans, elevations and installation instructions

FAQ

Our specialists answered the most common questions regarding a lighting design project.

How important is lighting design?

Very important. A lighting project has many characteristics that must be taken into account from the early stages. It is good to start with a plan that is relatively well-defined. We must bear in mind that:

  • Lighting can primarily influence our mood. Through lighting, we can stimulate the production of melatonin and cortisol in the human body, which creates states of relaxation or, accordingly, vigilance and alertness.
  • Ignoring the circadian rhythm, the feeling of blindness (UGR), flickering can lead to serious health problems over time.
  • The right light in an office building or in an industry influences the productivity of employees.
  • A well-implemented lighting system can lead to lower electricity consumption.
  • Lighting simulations help us to visualize both the total consumption of electricity used and the overall picture of the future illuminated space.

We can also obtain the certainty of meeting the standards through software simulations.

What is the budget for a lighting project?

This question is a difficult one because every project is different. Usually, the aspects that influence the total budget are:

  • size and complexity of the project
  • the quality of the lighting fixtures chosen (a higher initial investment can reduce costs over time: maintenance + saving electricity)
  • the level of customization of the fixing systems
  • integrated technologies (sensors, control systems, etc.)

Then comes the installation part to consider.

We suggest you contact a lighting designer to determine the approximate costs involved. If you would like guidance on the cost of your lighting project, why not speak to one of our experts? Arrange a free design consultation today, and we’ll let you know how we can transform your space on a budget.

When should we plan lighting?

As soon as possible! This helps in a few different ways. First, it gives you the most time to adjust and make sure your vision can come to life. Especially from an electrical point of view, it is advisable to consider the lighting design in the early phases of the project. We don’t want to ruin a freshly finished ceiling because the cables weren’t pulled in time. In addition, the collaboration of the lighting designer with the architect is most beneficial.
