Lighting Design Service

I offer a fully bespoke lighting design service.

If you are looking to light your home, garden or business then I can help.

I believe lighting to be vital when bringing a space to life and it is important the lighting works with the decor and accentuates the features of a room. I can create mood boards to help you imagine the space and the design concept. I have lighting suppliers and contacts from all over the world and have a wealth of knowledge about the available products including LEDs and how they work. I take careful consideration when choosing the lighting for a job making sure the style and quality of the fittings are perfect. I look for beautiful light fittings that are stylish and practical.

Once the style has been agreed on I can then over lay a lighting design onto an architects plans, positioning the lighting and making sure the balance of light in a space is correct. Sometimes you can over light a space so less can sometimes be more. I take time to consider all the aspects of the space and ensure the lighting is correctly positioned thus creating the perfect atmosphere whilst working within the design parameters of the brief and delivering a design which often exceeds the client’s expectations.

Finally, should the design require it, I will work out the wiring for the lighting. Breaking down the lighting into circuits and helping to choose the best place to switch and control everything. This will all be shown on the design and everything will be colour coded and a key will indicate the chosen light fittings. I can also incorporate home automation into a lighting design allowing for control of your lighting through a smart phone app. This also allows for mood control units to be used so scenes for different light levels can be set and easily controlled. My goal when bringing any lighting design together is to offer the client a user friendly and affordable lighting design. From concept to design I will communicate with you making sure you are happy with every detail of the design.

The finished design and lighting plan will give your chosen contractor an easy to follow schematic which can be used for the first and second fix of the project. I have worked with a wide range of clients including The Hilton Hotel, Marco Pierre White steakhouses and Grand Designs. Below is a testimonial from my clients whose house featured on Grand Designs in 2014.

I am based in Bristol and I am happy to undertake work across the whole of the UK. To discuss costs and my availability please call me in my showroom on 0117 9425355.

Testimonial by GRAND DESIGNS
“Nowadays, more and more people use online shopping. We read the reviews and then we buy. We did too for a lot of the goods we needed for our house, but for our electrical items, we wanted to choose a local shop with a showroom, for the simple reason that we wanted to see the products before we bought them. After looking around for a while, we found this shop “Ablectrics” on Gloucester Road in Bristol. If you are not familiar with the very latest in lighting design and technology, then choosing your lighting can be tricky, especially if you need to order in large quantity like we did. There are thousands of products on the market: LED, Fluorescent, different watts, warm, neutral, cold lighting, design, material, purpose, size, colour, waterproof qualities – the list is endless and it can take quite a long time to decide. Fraser, one of the managers at Ablectrics helped us to cut through all that. By asking the right questions, he honed in very quickly to what we were looking for, some of which we didn’t even know existed! He spent the first hour in their showroom, telling us all about LEDs, how much energy we could save and what the latest technology had to offer. He spoke with a passion and an authority that was reassuring, rather than off-putting, and he gave us a lot of helpful advice about how to make the most of our limited budget. Ablectrics were also very good about taking back products that ended up not being incorporated into our final design. This face-to-face service was not only enjoyable, it also saved us a great deal of time and effort and we very much appreciate the interaction with Fraser and his team.”

I now have many more products in my range including 2200k LED tape and a small range of urban inspired concrete pendants and lighting accessories.

All of my restored vintage lights and my unique bespoke pieces will also carry a small plaque with my name on. These are all very special and are not mass produced. Each restoration posse’s new challenges and the finished fittings all have their own tale and signs of age and patina.
