Our Design Service in Action
Creative with Light
A high quality lighting design service
for architects and building contractors
It’s difficult for busy architects or contractors to spend enough ‘client time’ discussing the lighting element of their building work. The wide choice of lighting products available, multiplied by the demands of the project can result in much valuable time being consumed by this relatively small part of the job.
By providing a creative and practical lighting design service with liaison between architect, contractor and client, Bright Planet can save you time and therefore money. If involved from the planning stage, we can take your client through a detailed range of attractive but realistic lighting possibilities, including location of fittings and switching options well ahead of electrical ‘first fix’. Helping the client think through the lighting avoids costly ‘re-thinks’ and makes the process more pleasant for everyone. Our aim at all times is to save you effort and give your client lighting that’s attractive, appropriate and economical to run.
By bringing our experience to a project, we will ensure that the users of the completed building will be well lit as they go about their activities, rather than just the interior of the property being illuminated (it’s astonishing how few buildings make the people in them look good as well as enabling them to see).
Knowing available products and how each performs is an important part of what we do. Specifying lighting that’s right for the job is very important - so many buildings end up with too much or too little lighting and many consume far more power than they should. Hot lighting wastes electricity and in extracting its excess heat, air conditioning consumes even more! With energy-consumption requirements getting tighter, it makes sense for lighting to be more than an afterthought!
Bright Planet is independent and does not market any particular products or ranges. We use suppliers all over the world with the intention of providing the right products at the best prices. However, if the local electrical wholesalers have what is needed, then they’re obviously the best choice. The products we locate can then be purchased in a way that suits all parties i.e. through your suppliers or contractors, or from us.
So, although Bright Planet provides creative and artistic lighting design, this is only part of what we can offer. The main advantage for you is probably the time and effort we can save you and your client.
We work with AutoCAD, so can interface seamlessly with your plans. We have beam spread and light intensity software for various light fittings, and we are in the process of developing an interactive questionnaire that will help clients consider the lighting needs for each part of their building.
Bright Planet is a small, lean organization, so it has correspondingly reasonable rates!
So why not give us a try?
