Featured Reviews for Lighting Companies & Designers in Oakland

Nelson Reeds ALD
Lighting Companies & Designers in Oakland
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 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.”
Eluminations
Lighting Companies & Designers in Oakland
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 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.”
Omega Lighting & Design
Lighting Companies & Designers in Oakland
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 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.”
Looma
Lighting Companies & Designers in Oakland
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 18, 2016
“Romy (of Looma) is a true professional. He is a clear communicator, his work is exceptionally beautiful, and his attention to detail is unmatched. He honors the client and the project every step of the way. I hired Looma to create a glass-top table that would compliment my office decor. Romy was contientious to ensure I was pleased with the color selection and style, then delivered the table ahead of schedule.”
Alloy LED
Lighting Companies & Designers in Oakland
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 22, 2018
“Alloy LED provides LED tape lights with extra long runs with high CRI in a wide variety of Kelvin temperatures. That's everything we're asking for - gotta love that. Also, there are many channels to choose from. And that they're in the San Francisco Bay Area, where we live and work, is an added bonus.”
Coast Lighting
Lighting Companies & Designers in Oakland
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 30, 2015
“We were looking for outdoor lighting fixtures for our new house. Having looked at a number of options, we were wondering if what we had in mind just did not exist. Coast Lighting worked with us and came up with the idea of having them custom made and it turned out to be great. I highly recommend them for the any major lighting projects that you may have.”

A well-lit home is essential for both functional and aesthetic reasons. Lighting designers will analyze your Oakland, 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 services, a professional Oakland 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 companies 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 Oakland, 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 services. 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 companies 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?
