ART LIGHTING

OVERVIEW

Our art lighting service offers you the opportunity to illuminate your artwork in its best light and typically involves minimal construction work. 

A few examples of art lighting upgrades include repositioning existing recessed light fixtures, adding a high-quality picture light, or adding new recessed fixtures in optimal locations.

 

Our goal is to seamlessly integrate the new art lighting into the existing space based on the size, medium, and mounting location of the art, the architectural aesthetic of the interior, and your specific lighting preferences.

CAN INCLUDE
 

  • Lighting plan.

  • Fixture specifications.

  • Light bulb replacement recommendations.

  • Photometric calculations.

  • Fixture mock ups.

  • Fixture procurement and/or submittal review.

  • Electrical walk-throughs on site.

  • Light fixture aiming on site. 

OUR PROCESS

01.  ENGAGEMENT​​​​

Our process begins with an on-site consultation to review your existing lighting and identify lighting opportunities to best illuminate your artwork.

 

Once the scope of work is confirmed, we’ll send you a detailed proposal outlining our services throughout the project as well as a design fee estimate.​​

02.  DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

 

Once we receive the signed proposal, we will develop the lighting plan, assemble fixture specifications, and run photometric calculations (as needed).

 

We will then meet with you to review the lighting plan and fixture specifications in detail, making adjustments as needed.​​​

03.  CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION

 

When the lighting plan and fixture specifications are confirmed, we will create a fully detailed and dimensioned lighting package which may include a lighting plan, fixture specification schedule, fixture specification sheets, and lighting load schedule for the electrician.

Projects with smaller scopes may require less documentation.

04.  PROCUREMENT​​​

 

Typically, we will procure the light fixtures; however, depending on the project, it may be easier for the electrician to procure the fixtures.​​​

05.  ON-SITE COORDINATION

 

We will be available to answer any questions that arise during installation and visit the site, as needed.​​

06.  PROJECT CLOSE OUT

 

At the end of the project, we will schedule a meeting with the electrician on site to ensure all fixtures are adjusted per the design intent.
