Designing with light - professional planning ensures optimum results

Using professional and carefully considered light planning, it is possible to create a specific atmosphere in rooms and buildings. The lighting system can take advantage of architectural features to enhance the effect of the space. Using suitably developed lighting concepts, a room can be transformed with completely different moods. Products can be skilfully presented in business premises and showrooms to their best effect using targeted lighting.

The light planning process entails complying with applicable standards (for instance as regards illuminance levels), architectural circumstances, furnishing and utilization profiles as well as making use of existing daylight with a view to achieving the highest possible level of lighting comfort combined with maximum energy efficiency.

A number of programs are available on the market for computer-aided light planning.
