A well planned and detailed lighting design with a comprehensive specification is a must for any medium to large project and also extremely useful for smaller scale ones. If you can present your building contractor with a lighting design at the quotation stage you won't get any nasty costing surprises further down the line. In other words using us doesn't cost you money - it saves you money! 

 

Careful planning of your lighting also minimises delays - there will be no last minute decisions that could impact on the schedule. We will help you to plan far enough ahead ensuring that you get the lighting that you want exactly where you want it. It would be such as shame to have found some fabulous wall lights when you've just had the rooms wall papered, or decide that you want garden lights when the patio has been laid completely across the back of the house without any thought for exterior lighting cables... 

 

We always bear in mind that at the end of the project it is you who will be living or working in the spaces that we light for you. We begin by taking a brief covering important issues, such as style, budget and timescales. We are not tied to a single or small number of suppliers so we are able to search through the vast range on the market to create your lighting scheme. Our process is always a two-way street that can take more than one presentation of ideas to narrow down to the perfect options for you. It's feedback from you that helps us get there as quickly as possible! 

 

Lighting design is offered from one room up to a whole property, garden or commercial premises. Lighting layouts can be hand drawn on to paper plans or provided in AutoCAD or PDF format, depending on the format that your plans have been created in. In all instances, where they are available standard electrical symbols are used - where they are not, we use our own symbols with a clear key for your contractors to easily refer to. 

 

We can supplement plans with visualisations from leading lighting design software packages. This is particularly useful for clients who find it difficult to visualise what the light spread will look like within their home. It is also invaluable for commercial projects where the LIF Lighting Guides recommend minimum light (lux) levels for different types of rooms and the functions taking place within them. 

 

Based in Bedfordshire, most of our work has been undertaken in the county and the surrounding areas of Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire and North London. Some of our further afield projects have been in Kent, Surrey, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Suffolk, North Yorkshire, the Midlands and overseas in France, Spain, Portugal, Greece and Morocco. However, these days you do not have to be geographically close to use to use our services. In many cases it can be completely handled via telephone conversations, e-mails and snail mail, but there's always a full on-site service available.
