Featured Reviews for Lighting Companies & Designers Near Me

EnvironmentalLights.com
Lighting Companies & Designers
Average rating: 4 out of 5 starsAugust 27, 2012
“We ordered several MaxLite Plug N Play undercabinet LEDs, 3 dimmer switches, and 10 LED bulbs to replace halogen track light bulbs in our kitchen. We had a few issues with our orders, both preventable and unavoidable, but Environmental Lights was committed to working with us until we were completely satisfied. I'm realistic and know things can go wrong, so the best I hope for is that whomever I give my business to stands behind their products and their service if and when something doesn't go as it should --- which is exactly what EL did. I can't ask for more than that. We worked with Eric G. He was very friendly, professional, and committed to making us happy. We're all set now and the lights look and work exactly as they should...and we LOVE our new kitchen lighting!”

“I've purchased two sets of under-cabinet lighting from InspiredLED and been amazed by the service both time. In both cases they helped me build a custom package at a very good price. Shipping was very fast , the lights and accessories were very high quality and easy to install. Now both my kitchen and my parents looks great!”

Lantern & Scroll

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 29, 2012
“I wanted to order outdoor lighting and contacted Karen Good at Lantern & Scroll after seeing some photos on Houzz. Karen asked what I was looking for, sent me sample photos, then made recommendations based on the style of my house, the size of the lighting and keeping in mind my budget. I could not be happier with the beautiful copper lighting that was made. My electrician even commented on the quality of the workmanship. I would highly recommend Karen and Richard, and hope to order more lighting from them in the near future!”

“I have used Staci for both residential and commercial projects, and she is excellent at figuring out just what is needed within a reasonable budget. Much better than if I tried by myself; I have had several unsolicited compliments on our lighting designs...something a tenant or buyer sees first thing.”

I liked them so much that I ordered fixtures for my outside lighting, The glass and raw copper fixtures were absolutely stunning. I am now ordering four more fixtures so that all my lighting matches.

A well-lit home is essential for both functional and aesthetic reasons. Lighting designers will analyze your home's layout, structure and needs to create an effective lighting plan throughout your home. Though electrical engineers or interior designers can take on the task of outfitting your home with the appropriate lighting, a professional lighting designer explores lighting as a technique.

What is a lighting plan designer?


Lighting designers often have a knowledge of physics, optics, ergonomics and environmental issues along with an eye for construction and design, allowing them to devise lighting plans that not only improve visibility but create hierarchies, dynamics and a mood within a space. Often working in conjunction with an architect or interior designer, lighting designers will work to incorporate reflective surfaces and integrate daylight. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of lighting showrooms & sales: Interior Designers & Decorators, Design-Build Firms, Electricians.

Think about how you plan to use each area of your home. It's important to communicate to your lighting designer which space will be used as an office and which will be a media room, for example, as these will require very different lighting methods. In addition, consider how you'd prefer to control the lights. Lighting technology today includes dimmers, sensors, photocells (that let lights react to the amount of daylight in a space), programmable scene controls (that let you program different settings for varied lighting) and whole-house lighting controls (that let you control all or a portion of your home's lights from one source), allowing you to tailor your lighting controls however you wish.

Be wary of electricians or sales reps posing as lighting designers. Identify professional lighting designers by finding out whether they're involved in lighting programs or associations such as the International Association of Lighting Designers, and confirming that they have LC (Lighting Certification) or CLC (Certified Lighting Consultant) credentials.

Questions to ask a prospective lighting designer:


  • How long have you been in the business?
  • How many projects like mine have you completed?
  • Can you provide me with references?
  • Are you licensed and insured?
  • Are you a participant of any professional programs or associations?
  • How do you charge, and what does that include?
  • Can you give me a written estimate?
  • What do your services include?
  • When can the job get done?
  • What happens when the cost exceeds the budget? What about when there are changes to materials or labor pricing?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any important considerations or concerns you foresee with this project?
