Bespoke commercial lighting design
Bespoke commercial lighting design is essential for maximising productivity in commercial spaces. Each commercial space is different, and the lighting should be designed according to its specific needs.
Bespoke commercial lighting design
Specifiers such as architects, interior designers and property developers understand the importance of bespoke commercial lighting design. At Detail Lighting we impress upon specifiers that the lighting scheme should be included in the earliest planning and design stages of commercial new builds and renovations.
The requirements of a lighting scheme in a retail unit will differ significantly from that of a hospitality venue. Likewise, an education facility will have different lighting needs from an office building.
Detail Lighting works with specifiers on a wide range of bespoke commercial lighting design projects to develop concepts that enhance the purpose, functionality and aesthetics of each individual space.
Commercial LED lighting
The introduction of LED lighting was a gamechanger for reducing energy consumption and therefore electricity costs.
Most LED bulbs offer a lifespan of at least 50,000 hours, sometimes as many as 100,000. Lighting in commercial spaces is often switched on almost constantly, so commercial LED lighting significantly reduces companies’ costs and carbon footprint. Likewise, LED fixtures offer exceptional durability. The output and longevity of LED fixtures means fewer visits by maintenance teams to replace bulbs which can be disruptive and expensive for companies.
Commercial LED lighting fixtures can also be integrated with smart technology such as dimmers and sensors, which allows for lighting levels to be adjusted depending on the likes of time of day, what the space is being used for, occupancy and energy goals.
Commercial lighting fixtures
Commercial lighting fixtures are tasked with maximising productivity, enhancing visibility and safety, and improving productivity and comfort while creating the right ambiance and comfort levels for staff and visitors. Commercial lighting fixtures also need to comply with safety standards and regulations.
Lighting fixtures for commercial spaces typically include downlights and recessed lights, linear LED lighting, lighting tracks and ceiling surface lighting.
How to specify commercial lighting systems
When specifying commercial lighting systems, the following basics should be covered:
- Energy goals – use LEDs and smart technology
- The purpose of the space – use layered lighting (ambient, accent and task) to create a multi-use space
- Use high quality fixtures for lower maintenance costs and enhanced output
- Identify architectural features that should be highlighted
- Be clear about the required ambiance
- Determine how lighting can overcome room layout issues
- Use daylight, which is essential for wellbeing, within your lighting scheme
