Find the right design service for your project

Whether you are planning a new build, renovation, garden scheme or small business fit-out, the right service depends on how far your project has progressed. Choose the route that best matches your current stage

  • Are your lighting positions still flexible?

    Best for new builds, renovations, extensions and fit-outs before first fix or before the electrical layout is finalised.

  • Are your lighting points already fixed?

    Best when the electrician, architect or builder has already decided the lighting layout, but you need expert help choosing suitable fittings.

  • Is the project mainly outdoors?

    Best for gardens, terraces, facades, driveways, paths, pools and outdoor living spaces.

  • Need focused lighting help by the hour?

    Best for solving one problem area in isolation, reviewing a layout, checking product choices, handling extra revisions or answering specific lighting questions.

💡Plan your lighting before first fix

Hopefully you're still in time...

Once cables are run and ceilings are closed, your options become limited. Planning early lets us position fittings properly, design useful lighting layers, and give your electrician a clear layout before work begins.

Already past first fix? Don't worry, our Product Selection Service can help you choose suitable fittings for the lighting points you already have.

Core lighting design services

    A complete lighting design for projects where lighting positions can still be planned properly. Includes layout, product recommendations, lighting schedule, quotation and one revision cycle.

Why lighting design matters

Small lighting decisions affect comfort, atmosphere, usability and installation cost.

  • Too many downlights

    Rooms can feel flat, harsh or over-lit when every space is treated the same.

  • Poor placement

    Badly positioned lights create glare, shadows, dark corners and awkward ceiling layouts.

  • No lighting layers

    Good lighting combines ambient, task, accent and decorative lighting rather than relying on one type of fitting.

  • Wrong colour temperature

    Inconsistent or unsuitable colour temperatures can make spaces feel cold, dull or uncomfortable.

  • Unsuitable products

    Beam angle, dimming, IP rating, trim style, output and colour rendering all affect the final result.

  • Late decisions

    Changing lighting after first fix can mean extra electrical work, compromises and avoidable cost.

Frequently asked questions

What is a lighting design service?

A lighting design service creates a tailored lighting plan for your space, including fixture placement, lighting layers, product recommendations, controls and supporting documentation.

Do I need architectural plans?

Architectural plans are strongly recommended. If you do not have plans, we may be able to work from sketches, notes and photos, but plan preparation may be charged separately.

Do I have to buy the lighting from you?

No. You are free to source your own fittings. The design-fee credit only applies when you purchase lighting through us.

What if my lighting points are already fixed?

Use the Product Selection Service. It is designed for projects where the electrical layout is already decided and you need help choosing suitable fittings.

Do you install the lighting?

No. We provide the lighting design, product specification and quotation. Your electrician, builder or contractor carries out the installation.

How long does the design process take?

This depends on project size and complexity, but most lighting designs take around 1-3 weeks from consultation to completion.

What changes are included?

One consolidated revision cycle is included after the initial design. Further revisions, late-stage changes or revised architectural plans may be charged hourly.

Can you design outdoor lighting?

Yes. We design lighting for gardens, terraces, facades, paths, patios and outdoor living spaces. Outdoor lighting is currently quoted separately.
