Heritage Lighting
Conservation Methodology
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.
Discrete Intervention
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.
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. Exterior IP ratings are selected per exposure zone, from IP65 for sheltered colonnades to IP68 for fountain submersibles. Daylight sensors are positioned to avoid false triggering from adjacent reflective surfaces or passing vehicle headlights.
Consent Documentation
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.
Smart home integrations use open protocols so clients are not locked into proprietary ecosystems. Tunnel and transition lighting gradients are designed to prevent pupil shock when moving between brightness zones.
Reversible Fixings
Dimming curves are tested against wall finishes so warm-white LED sources do not shift perceived timber tones after sunset. Control system programming includes scene presets for cleaning, event hosting, and security patrol modes.
