Process
Initial Consultation
Maintenance schedules note relamping intervals and access equipment requirements for atrium installations above twelve metres. 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.
Concept Presentation
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. 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.
Emergency lighting routes are overlaid on architectural plans early, preventing last-minute ceiling grid conflicts with sprinklers and ducts. Mock-ups at full scale allow clients to approve beam angles on stone textures before bulk procurement.
Technical Development
Tunnel and transition lighting gradients are designed to prevent pupil shock when moving between brightness zones. We decline projects where ceiling heights cannot accommodate minimum clearance for recessed downlight housings.
Installation Oversight
Energy modelling compares LED alternatives against baseline tungsten schemes to quantify payback for sustainability reports. 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.
Handover Protocol
Cable routes through listed plaster ceilings are documented with borescope surveys to minimise structural intervention. Dimming curves are tested against wall finishes so warm-white LED sources do not shift perceived timber tones after sunset.
We model glare indices for workstations near windows, adjusting shield angles and baffle depths until screen visibility meets ergonomic thresholds. Maintenance schedules note relamping intervals and access equipment requirements for atrium installations above twelve metres.
