Why LED?
We love LED lighting and its ability to transform the look of a space. It is energy efficient and able to create stunning effects. We install LED in all form; surface LED tape, plaster in LED tape, LED downlights, recessed LED tape, colour change LED tape, pixel tape, white tuneable LED tape, the choice is yours.

But Can't I Just Have A Centre Pendant?
Of course, and for some rooms that's fine! But it's important correct lighting is considered; By incorporating various light sources, such as ambient, task, and accent lighting, we can achieve a nuanced balance that caters to different needs within a space. Ambient lighting provides a general illumination, setting the overall tone. Task lighting, on the other hand, addresses specific functional areas, ensuring ample brightness for activities like reading or cooking. Meanwhile, accent lighting highlights focal points or architectural features, adding depth and visual interest.
The careful orchestration of these lighting layers allows for the creation of diverse ambiences. For instance, a living room might transition from a well-lit and lively social space during the day to a cozy and intimate setting in the evening by adjusting the intensity and positioning of light sources. This flexibility not only enhances the functionality of a room but also contributes to the overall aesthetic appeal, turning a static space into a dynamic and inviting environment. In essence, lighting design is an art form that goes beyond the technical aspects of brightness and placement, profoundly influencing the way we experience and perceive interior spaces.

Do I Need a Lighting Designer?
Possibly. Possibly not. 95% of the photos on this website were conceived, designed, specified and installed by us. We have the confidence and knowledge to specify lighting options and designs and give you possibly one less person to deal with. Of course, we happily work with many designers who are great at what they do, but on projects where an interior architect or designer has not been appointed, we can advise and design a lighting scheme to suit your taste and budget. We can also specify and install a suitable control system for the lights if required.......
Can I Not Just Walk In And Hit A Switch?
Of course, and for some rooms that's fine!
But take a large kitchen/ dining room lighting scene for instance; island pendants, kitchen downlights, under cupboard lights, plinth lights, dining downlights, table lamp sockets etc, etc. That's six switches or dimmers to switch/ turn to try and find find the correct one, before you've even set the lighting level for each one. A first world problem? Yes. But one we have a solution to, so why not?!
When a control system is used, it should seamlessly integrate with the lighting design to offer a heightened level of convenience and customisation. These systems create diverse moods and ambiences with simple button presses, tailoring the lighting environment to their preferences. The synergy between design and control allows for a dynamic and responsive lighting setup within a space.
Ok, But That Sounds Complicated!
In a good system setup, the installer takes on the role of simplifying the technical intricacies for the customer. We navigate the complexities of setting appropriate lighting levels, configuring dimming options, and selecting the correct switches. By doing so, we ensure that the end user is presented with an intuitive and user-friendly control interface, allowing them to effortlessly transform their living spaces at the touch of a button. This not only enhances the user experience but also reflects the seamless integration of advanced technology to elevate the functionality and aesthetics of modern homes.
