Lighting Design Consultants
Lighting design consultants provide consultancy services to specifiers such as architects, interior designers and property developers to create stunning lighting schemes for residential and commercial spaces.
Detail Lighting are lighting design consultants with decades of experience in supporting specifiers or working directly with clients. We offer guidance on typical lighting matters such as how to light walls, how to light stairs, where to position lights on the ceiling, colours of light, how to maximise lighting controls, beam angles and how to achieve layers of light.
Our approach to lighting design
The Detail Lighting approach to lighting design focuses on achieving the required ambiance and functionality of a room through carefully planned lighting design and sustainable practices and products.
We begin by getting to know the space, its architecture and exposure to natural daylight, as well as the way in which the space is used and by whom. From here, we can determine which types of lighting are most suitable. This often results in a layered mix of soft ambient lighting, focused task lighting, and accent lighting which highlights specific features.
Incorporating appropriate light levels (lux) and colours is also critical to our lighting design approach, as is the use of smart lighting technology.
Smart lighting controls
The development of smart lighting controls has transformed lighting design. Smart lighting controls give users complete control over the ambiance of a room and enhances the occupant experience. Natural light can be maximised through smart controls that allow users to control the output and layering of light depending on how a room is used, or for different times of day or year.
Examples of smart lighting controls are dimmers, sensors and timers. These can all be controlled through apps and devices.
- Dimmers alter the output of light which reduces energy consumption and lighting costs.
- Motion sensors that switch lights on when motion is detected and then switch off within minutes are particularly useful in hallways and other less-used rooms, or for outside security.
- Programable digital timers are used to switch on light fixtures such as lamps or light strings at particular times. This is a useful security tool when a house is not occupied or for outdoor waymarking in the evening or, again, as a security feature.
