Lighting

Good lighting design starts with the work each space has to support: how bright it needs to be, where the light should fall, and how it should feel at nine in the morning and six at night. Then come the fixtures, the layout and the controls that deliver it.

We plan the lighting alongside the architect, the interior designer and the electrical engineer, so fixture choices, light levels and controls are settled in the drawings rather than discovered on site, and energy code requirements are met from the start.

Low-voltage lighting powers and controls LED fixtures over the same kind of data cable that runs a network. Instead of high-voltage wiring to every fixture, a central driver or network switch sends low-voltage DC power and control signals to each fixture over category cable, often called Power over Ethernet or PoE lighting.

It is one of the fastest-moving changes in commercial lighting. Every fixture becomes individually addressable, so light can be dimmed, scheduled or grouped from software. Sensors at the fixtures report occupancy, daylight and temperature, which turns the lighting grid into a building-wide source of data that can feed space planning and other building systems through open protocols like BACnet. And because the wiring is low voltage, moving a fixture or reshaping a space is a cabling change, not an electrical one.

We design low-voltage lighting systems with the controllers, sensors and fixtures that fit the building, coordinate the cabling with the rest of the network infrastructure, and manage the project through commissioning.

Modern lighting control — dimming, switching, occupancy, daylighting, scheduling — is where lighting stops being a light switch and starts being a building system.

With the variety of control systems on the market, our value is staying current so you don't have to: we design, oversee implementation, and support controls that fit your space and your budget, from a single floor to a whole campus.

Office LED lighting pays for itself twice: lower energy bills and less maintenance. The catch is doing it as a designed retrofit — matching color quality and light levels to the work being done — rather than a bulb swap.

We evaluate your existing system, model the savings, and manage retrofits that improve the space while cutting the operating cost.

Proper workplace lighting prevents incidents, reduces eye fatigue and headaches, and supports the way people naturally work through a day. Circadian lighting shifts color temperature and intensity to follow that rhythm — energizing in the morning, calmer late in the day.

We design human-centric lighting where it earns its keep: workplaces with long hours, healthcare environments, and spaces competing for talent.

Some spaces need lighting that performs: lobbies that carry the brand, event spaces that transform, exteriors that stand out at night.

We design color-changing and scene-based lighting that's dramatic when you want it and dead simple to operate — presets, not programming, for the people running the room.

Lighting design that ignores the windows is half a design. Motorized shades tie daylight into the control system — cutting glare, managing heat, and letting the electric lighting respond to the sun instead of fighting it.

We integrate shading with lighting controls so both act as one system.
