Choosing the right fitting with optimal performance that meets the site’s aesthetic vision can be a real challenge. Here’s our top tips on choosing the right fitting for your scheme.

For the past 30 years, we have been designing and engineering luminaires here in the UK, with our range being developed to include multifunctional product families. Not only does this give our customers more options to get the results they want but means lighting schemes can take occupants and visitors on a visual journey.

Architectural – It’s all about ambience!

In order to create a scheme with impact, there are a few key factors to consider, including the scale of the architecture, the purpose of the site and therefore it’s lighting needs, the surrounding areas and of course the desired ambiance.

With the perfect combination of functionality and form, architectural lighting can elevate your scheme with a few simple touches.

Recessed Illumination

Inground and recessed luminaires offer a streamlined aesthetic and used correctly, can create a sense of drama while still offering the perfect lux levels. Recessed luminaires are primarily used to up-or down-light building facades, define driveways, accent architectural features, and even illuminate natural details. With an array of sizes, shapes, styles and finishes, as well as optic and colour temperature options, fixtures such as the Stone, Thunder, Veron and Inground can be used to create the perfect scene. 

Wall Mounted Luminaires

The Italian built Tula and Ellis ranges are perfect for creating wall washes between windows, doorways, or even signage. With a choice of one- or two-way illumination, coupled with the right optic and optional diffusers, these ranges will help create the perfect atmosphere.

Cinep is a multipurpose flexible linear luminaire ideal for accenting features of almost any shape! This versatile fitting can be sized perfectly and offers low colour temperatures and even RGB for further lighting effects.

Street and Roadways

When creating a scheme for street or roadways, lighting levels, glare and the reduction of back spill are the key areas of focus. An experienced lighting designer will be able to look at the needs and restrictions of the site and the surrounding areas, work within industry guidance and standards and ultimately recommend fixtures that will meet the specification and levels required.

From our range of fittings, we have a number of excellent road lanterns that offer a variety of optics, colour temperatures and accessory options to perfectly illuminate any roadway.
