At Radiant Lighting we see light as a fundamental part of architecture.
There are infinite possibilities, so ample time should be taken to consider how to create the best lighting design for you.
 
What is a lighting consultant
A lighting consultant is a specialist who works in conjunction with architects, interior designers, builders and clients to design and implement a lighting scheme that enhances the architecture whilst maintaining the desired character and feel of your space.
They establish how you use the space and the goals of your project then work within your timeframe and budget to provide calculated recommendations of what you need to get the best results.
 
What are the benefits
One of the biggest benefits to having professional lighting advice - which is strongly based in the science and mathematics behind light, is understanding that there is more to lighting than just downlights.  Lighting is a fundamental part of architecture so we can work with you to create a dynamic, functional and luxurious space.  The benefits of having a lighting designer or consultants are:
  • Providing expert advice and solutions for beautiful and functional lighting in your space

  • Suggesting sustainable lighting options that will create luxurious effects in every room

  • Converting your lighting needs into a clear design with everything required for purchasing and installation
What is included in our lighting consultation
Your appointment will be in our showroom with one of our Design Consultants and will take roughly one to two hours to complete. During this time we will work with you to create a bespoke lighting concept that will complement and enhance the beauty of your home.
 
Lighting design & selections
During your appointment, your Design Consultant will present examples of potential selections on display in our showroom. Everything from decorative, architectural and even landscape lighting options will be discussed and considered during this time. Your Design Consultant will work hard to create a bespoke lighting plan specific to the needs of your project. During this time, initial lighting styles and selections will be made; it is important to note that whilst you do not need to select decorative lighting during your first appointment, the selections will need to be confirmed as soon as possible to ensure we have them ready for delivery by your required timeframe. Your Design Consultant will let you know specific lead times for any products you order.
 
Plan, specification & quote
In the days following your appointment, your Design Consultant will create your lighting package. This will include your lighting plan, a detailed quotation and specifications of the selected fittings. At this point we recommend that you review the lighting package and reach out to your Design Consultant should you have any questions or queries. Whilst creating your lighting package, your Design Consultant will set out the lighting design directly onto your plans, ensuring efficient coordination and accuracy. Your detailed quotation is also prepared on a room-by-room basis, listing all light fittings and accessories as specified. All other necessary information including the specification sheets will be included in the package. Once you have reviewed your lighting package, a second meeting can be scheduled if required; to run through the plan, make changes and confirm any fittings that are still to be selected.
 
Order management & delivery
Even after you have confirmed your lighting package and paid a deposit, your Design Consultant will still be there to liaise with you throughout the entire project. They will also be ready to process your order and ensure delivery to site when required. When you and your builder are ready, our experienced team will process your order and answer any technical questions that may arise. All orders are packed accurately and are labelled on a room-by-room basis, for ease of delivery and installation on site as well as assisting your electrician.
