Featured Reviews for Petaluma, CA Lighting Designers and Suppliers

Ferguson Bath, Kitchen & Lighting Gallery

Petaluma, CA Lighting Designers and Suppliers

June 29, 2012

“We are building our new home which is 8000 sq ft. We bought all our light fixtures, all the plumbing fixtures and kitchen appliances from Ferguson in Memphis TN. They are very professional and thorough in their business dealing. If there was any change of order or price, they dealt with it professionally. The prices were great as well! At first we were under the impression that Ferguson was an expensive store , but it completely changed once they price matched everything. Overall we would give them an A+.”

Eluminations

Petaluma, CA Lighting Designers and Suppliers

July 19, 2013

“Sheryl is awesome. We bought a mid-century house that needed lighting badly and we were completely clueless on where to begin. Sheryl had great ideas and connected us with a really good contractor to execute the work. I would definitely recommend Eluminations to people who have a big or complicated lighting job.”

Kim Cladas Lighting Design

Petaluma, CA Lighting Designers and Suppliers

August 19, 2013

“Kim has worked for me in several residential projects over the years, big and small. She is knowledgeable, helpful, professional, the subs all love working with her, and she knows all the latest in a field that is changing almost weekly. Never a problem, but always a problem-solver, working with Kim has been the highlight of every project we've worked on.”

Nelson Reeds ALD

Petaluma, CA Lighting Designers and Suppliers

August 19, 2018

“My wife and I were introduced to Nelson by a kitchen designer we hired. Nelson is in commercial lighting, having done a major airport, conversion of a large corporate headquarters to a hotel, among other very large projects. He happens to live in our town and it was convenient for him to help us with a residential project. Nelson looked at our kitchen plan and described what he had in mind. It sounded great! The next day I received a CAD lighting plan and all the spec sheets for the products he recommended. Nelson stopped by several times to check on things and ultimately to program the switching system. The electricians really enjoyed working with Nelson and they learned a great deal from him. The lighting in our kitchen is a highlight. The cost was reasonable for such a sophisticated plan. Nelson is a pro's pro, and it is clearly reflected in our kitchen. We were really fortunate to be able to work with him and we highly recommend him.”

Eichen's Lighting Showroom

Petaluma, CA Lighting Designers and Suppliers

November 19, 2016

“Eichen's Lighting is fabulous. A great find for the Bay Area, where I struggled to get good service and a good price. Not to name other stores, but the prominent lighting store in SF has repeatedly been rude and non communicative once I've placed an order, likely because I'm not a designer or have huge orders, but I'm a paying customer that deserves respect. Eichen's on the other hand in locally owned and you get the attention and help you deserve, no matter who you are. They have an amazing selection and their staff are super knowledgeable and will help you find exactly what you're looking for, even if they have to order it. The new showroom is gorgeous and helps bring ideas to life, which is important since Lighting is 3-dimensional and magazine/online doesn't do it justice. The best part is that they are open on the weekends, making it easy for me to shop and pick up deliveries while not taking time off work.”

Metro Lighting

Petaluma, CA Lighting Designers and Suppliers

January 7, 2015

“Christa and all the staff at Metro have been a great resource for custom lighting for probably 10 projects in the last year.. All on time great pricing, and the quality of the work is terrific. Always fun to be there and work with them on projects.”

Omega Lighting & Design

Petaluma, CA Lighting Designers and Suppliers

December 7, 2012

“For anyone building or remodeling their home, don't make a lighting move without Vanessa or Omega Lighting Design! Vanessa is just wonderful -- super helpful, offered so many options and came up with ideas that I wouldn’t have thought of on my own. We did everything for my home, from custom lights for me, catalogue lights, to vintage lights. I wouldn’t have been able to do my project without her. She is super professional. I'd hire Omega Lighting Design again if I were building another house.”

Chandran Param Lighting Design

Petaluma, CA Lighting Designers and Suppliers

July 20, 2014

“I am a kitchen and bath designer and I have used Chandran many times when purchasing lighting fixtures. He is very knowledgable, personable and helpful. I have enjoyed working with him on a business level and appreciate his suggestions. He has provided great support to my work.”

LUNARIA, INC

Petaluma, CA Lighting Designers and Suppliers

September 20, 2017

“Lunaria offers beautiful lighting fixtures that are hard to find elsewhere - that makes them special. They also offer lighting fixtures from brands that you can find at better retailers such as Hubbardton Forge, Tech Lighting, etc... so they offer the best of both worlds as far as product choice is concerned. But what truly sets them apart is their knowledge and service. So if you're looking for lighting, take a trip to Corte Madera, in Marin County, and you'll be happy you did. In addition, they'll be opening an additional location in Berkeley at the end of 2017, which will certainly be more convenient for most of our clients.”

Bacchus Glass

Petaluma, CA Lighting Designers and Suppliers

October 22, 2013

“Terrific! Frank is an artist living his dream. You will be impressed, very impressed. The location is just off the square, so enjoy a nice stroll to Bacchus Glass and watch Frank do his thing.”

A well-lit home is essential for both functional and aesthetic reasons. Lighting designers will analyze your Petaluma, CA 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 Petaluma 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 Petaluma, CA home. It's important to communicate to your California 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?
