Lighting Design

GTS provides Lighting design services for customers to enable them to visualize the lighting effects our proposed lighting solution will provide.

Designing a basic lighting scheme requires the consideration of many factors, not just the achievement of a desired lighting level. Basic objectives must first be established, such as:

• What sort of tasks will be performed in the area?
• What ‘mood’ needs to be created?
• What type of lighting will create a comfortable environment?

There are also standards and legislation that need to be complied with. For example:

• How energy efficient must the lighting be?
• How will Building Regulations affect the design?
• Is emergency lighting required?

When all these objectives and requirements have been established, they can be expressed as a series of lighting criteria in order to facilitate a quality lighting design. Criteria that would normally be considered are:

• Level of Illumination
• Uniformity & Ratios of Illuminance
• Glare
• Colour & Room Reflectance
• Energy Efficiency
• Any special conditions such as the addition of display lighting or screens, etc.
