Daylight Integration

Solar Analysis

Façade lighting schemes respect dark-sky policies, using full cut-off optics and time clocks aligned with local curfew ordinances. We decline projects where ceiling heights cannot accommodate minimum clearance for recessed downlight housings.

Glare Assessment

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.

Artificial Supplement

Tunnel and transition lighting gradients are designed to prevent pupil shock when moving between brightness zones. Colour rendering indices above 90 are specified for galleries and residential art walls where fidelity matters. Heritage commissions require reversible mounting details; we specify magnetic fixings or clip systems approved by conservation officers.

Seasonal Modelling

Daylight sensors are positioned to avoid false triggering from adjacent reflective surfaces or passing vehicle headlights. Dimming curves are tested against wall finishes so warm-white LED sources do not shift perceived timber tones after sunset.

Study Pricing

Retail clients receive merchandising lux targets per display type, from jewellery cases requiring 1000 lux to ambient aisle washes at 200 lux. We decline projects where ceiling heights cannot accommodate minimum clearance for recessed downlight housings.
