The Value of Well Designed Illumination

Owners or project designers may not be fully aware of the value an independent lighting consultant can bring to the design and construction processes. Traditionally covered under electrical engineering, interior design or even lighting product agents, lighting design has evolved as an integral discipline requiring dedicated specialists to design, interpret and apply emerging and continually evolving lighting equipment and control technologies and stringent energy codes.

Beyond navigation of technical complexities, lighting designers bring value to a project through their mastery of lighting as a medium of mood, hierarchy and contrast as the principal partner of the architecture.
