About
Founding Narrative
Heritage commissions require reversible mounting details; we specify magnetic fixings or clip systems approved by conservation officers. Smart home integrations use open protocols so clients are not locked into proprietary ecosystems. Cable routes through listed plaster ceilings are documented with borescope surveys to minimise structural intervention.
Principal Designers
Coordination meetings with M&E engineers resolve conflicts between light positions and HVAC diffusers before tender. Control system programming includes scene presets for cleaning, event hosting, and security patrol modes. We model glare indices for workstations near windows, adjusting shield angles and baffle depths until screen visibility meets ergonomic thresholds. Energy modelling compares LED alternatives against baseline tungsten schemes to quantify payback for sustainability reports.
Mock-ups at full scale allow clients to approve beam angles on stone textures before bulk procurement. Photometric files from manufacturers are verified in Relux before purchase orders are issued to electrical contractors. Dimming curves are tested against wall finishes so warm-white LED sources do not shift perceived timber tones after sunset.
Collaborative Network
We decline projects where ceiling heights cannot accommodate minimum clearance for recessed downlight housings. Exterior IP ratings are selected per exposure zone, from IP65 for sheltered colonnades to IP68 for fountain submersibles.
Retail clients receive merchandising lux targets per display type, from jewellery cases requiring 1000 lux to ambient aisle washes at 200 lux. Lux levels are calculated room-by-room before any luminaire is specified, ensuring compliance with CIBSE guidance and client comfort expectations. Maintenance schedules note relamping intervals and access equipment requirements for atrium installations above twelve metres.

Commitment to Craft
Daylight sensors are positioned to avoid false triggering from adjacent reflective surfaces or passing vehicle headlights. Tunnel and transition lighting gradients are designed to prevent pupil shock when moving between brightness zones.
