Whether you are planning a new build, renovation, garden scheme or commercial fit-out, the right service depends on how far your project has progressed. Choose the route that best matches your current stage.
Best for new builds, renovations, extensions and fit-outs before first fix or before the electrical layout is finalised.
Best when the electrician, architect or builder has already decided the lighting layout, but you need expert help choosing suitable fittings.
Best for gardens, terraces, facades, driveways, paths, pools and outdoor living spaces.
Best for solving one problem area in isolation, reviewing a layout, checking product choices, handling extra revisions or answering specific lighting questions.
Lighting mistakes are easiest to prevent before electrical work begins. A proper lighting design gives you a clear plan for placement, products, controls and coordination.
Lights are often positioned for convenience rather than effect, leaving glare, shadows, dark corners or awkward ceiling layouts. A lighting plan places fittings where they work for the room, the furniture and the way the space will be used.
Rows of downlights can make a space feel flat, harsh or over-lit. Good lighting uses layers — ambient, task, accent and decorative — so the room has comfort, depth and atmosphere.
A fitting can look right online but fail in the room. Output, beam angle, colour temperature, dimming, IP rating and trim style all affect the final result. We specify products that match the space and the design intent.
Good lighting can be spoiled by bad switching. If circuits, dimmers and scenes are not planned properly, the space becomes awkward to use. We consider how each area should be controlled before installation begins.
Lighting decisions made after first fix can mean extra electrical work, compromised positions and rushed product choices. Planning early gives your electrician a clear layout before the work begins.
Even a good idea can fail if it is not clearly documented. We provide a lighting layout, schedule and quotation so your electrician, builder or contractor has a practical design pack to work from.
We turn your ideas, vision, plans or brief into a clear lighting design pack. Depending on the service selected, this includes a consultation, lighting layout, product schedule, lighting calculations where required, quotation and one revision cycle. Your final pack is designed to help you review the scheme, brief your electrician, order the correct fittings and avoid last-minute substitutions.
A focused consultation to review your plans, understand your goals and agree the right lighting direction.
Fixture positions, lighting types and key design notes marked up on your architectural plan.
Light-level calculations where needed for function, comfort or compliance.
A structured list of specified fittings, quantities and key product details, supplied with a quotation for the recommended products.
Simple 3D visuals showing the proposed lighting effect where they add value to the design.
One review cycle to discuss the design and make agreed amendments from a consolidated set of comments.
Before first fix is the best time to plan your lighting.
Once cables are run and ceilings are closed, fitting positions become harder and more expensive to change. Early lighting design lets us plan the layout, layers and controls properly before your electrician starts work.
Already past first fix? Don't worry, our Lighting Selection Service can help you choose suitable fittings for the lighting points you already have.
