My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Featured Reviews for Lighting Companies & Designers in Santa Barbara

Steven Handelman Studios
Lighting Companies & Designers in Santa Barbara
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 1, 2013
“We highly recommend light fixtures from Stephen Handelman and been enjoying ours for eight years now. The wide choice of styles, sizes and finishes made it easy to create exactly the Old World look we wanted. Additionally, SH fixtures represented an excellent value considering the level of customization, quality and professional service we received, especially when compared to pricing of other specialty vendors. We ordered over seventy custom light fixtures (chandeliers, interior and exterior lanterns, sconces, flush mounts) and the experienced staff at SH were very helpful and every piece was delivered safely and on schedule. Except for recessed lighting, our home in Pebble Beach, California is illuminated exclusively by SH fixtures. We have added to our collection at least three times and each experience has been equally positive.”
Antoinette Designs
Lighting Companies & Designers in Santa Barbara
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 25, 2013
“I hired Luxxe Designs when I bought a home in a new housing development. I literally moved in with nothing but a bed so Antoinette designed my home from top to bottom including paint, furniture, artwork and landscaping. Not only is my house gorgeous, but Antoinette is a tremendous professional woman who is a pleasure to work with. I'm told on a regular basis that I have the nicest home in the development!”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 11, 2014
“I have worked with Charlie for a couple of years remodeling the basement at a downtown business location. His product is excellent and he always arrives when scheduled. His cost is very reasonable. I recently bought an older home that needed some electrical work and immediately called Charlie. HIGHLY recommend!”

A well-lit home is essential for both functional and aesthetic reasons. Lighting designers will analyze your Santa Barbara, 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 Santa Barbara 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.

Think about how you plan to use each area of your Santa Barbara, 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?
