Types of services that a lighting designer provides

Design visualisation

Design visualisation is the preparation of detailed drawings to visualise and communicate the lighting design and vision for the space.

Lighting plan layout

In Australia, the drawing up of plans is essential to indicate the placement of all light fittings, circuits, and controls of the interior or exterior space.

Maintenance 

A maintenance schedule is crucial and involves developing a regular testing and repair plan for the lighting system.

Liaising with other stakeholders  

They’ll have the ability to leverage relationships with architects, interior designers, lighting suppliers, lighting installers, electricians, construction contractors, and more to coordinate successful project management and completion.

Compiling spec sheets

They will collate specification sheets on all the light fittings and accessories involved in a project.

The advantages of hiring a skilled lighting designer

The best lighting designers in Australia are not limited to the knowledge of light fixtures and installation methods, though they should advise you on current trends and procure the best deals. They also possess a nuanced understanding of how light interacts with various materials, textures, and colours. A skilled designer can complement the architectural features of a space with just a few well-placed light fixtures, working alongside lighting installers. They can help to make the most of natural light in the daytime throughout the seasons. You can also work with an experienced professional to create an outdoor lighting design plan to complement the interior.

How to choose the best lighting designer for your project? 

Finding the right lighting designer in Australia can be challenging especially if you’re doing so for the first time. If you are working on a big commercial project, make sure your designer has experience in this scale of work. For residential projects in Australia, aside from aesthetic concerns, a well-informed lighting professional will be able to advise on optimal energy-saving solutions to minimise the environmental impact of the design concept. Ask for evidence of successful projects that have moved beyond the design stage.

Some questions to ask a potential lighting designer include:

• Do you have any examples of lighting design projects of similar scope to this one in Australia?
• How do you collaborate with other professionals, such as architects and interior designers?
• What is your fee structure and scoping process?
• What do you expect to be the timeline for this project?
• What do you think are the design challenges of this space and what is your approach to solving them?
