Lighting design process

Indoor lighting design process: establish contact, understand customer needs, analyze lighting space, collect and sort out relevant information, establish design creativity, select lamps, install and debug, and provide after-sales service.

First of all, establish contact and understand customer needs.

In this link, customers and suppliers initially establish contact (provided that the business relationship has been basically established). The direct owner or entrusting party (such as a decoration company lacking the ability of lighting design) makes disclosure to the lighting designer or lighting design company, and states his needs and intentions to the lighting designer.

Second, the lighting space analysis

In the last step, we mainly focus on the client (person). This link mainly talks about the understanding of lighting projects by lighting designers. For example, some cultural characteristics and background related to the project, as well as the interests and group characteristics of users or customers, all need designers to understand and investigate.

Learn as much as possible about the lighting space and take more photos of the whole and details of the building. It would be better if you can get the structural drawings, load-bearing analysis data and other documents of the building. At the same time, lighting designers need to know the building structure, especially the materials, colors and reflectivity used in the surface layer, for future use. It is emphasized here that the lighting designer in charge of the project must go to the project site himself.

Third, collect and organize relevant information.

This step of work, in fact, is a lighting designer's daily work and spare time needs to continue. It is necessary to collect and analyze similar lighting design projects and use the feedback from the market. At the same time, as a lighting designer, you may need to master some news information of the lighting industry, as well as some fresh design techniques and entrepreneurship to keep your thinking updated and active.

It should be noted that when we do lighting design projects, we should try our best to understand some requirements of local policies and regulations in terms of architecture, lighting and fire protection, and we should not touch the red line.

Fourth, establish design creativity.

This is a very important stage. With the support of the above steps, the designer team makes overall thinking and creativity, puts forward the design concept and clarifies the design purpose. Communicate with customers for many times, determine the design scheme and creativity, draw sketches, make computer three-dimensional demonstrations or establish a certain proportion of models.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) Selection of lamps and lanterns

This is the basis and key step to realize the lighting design effect. The style, type and shape of lamps, illumination and color temperature of light sources have great influence on the style and effect of the whole lighting design.

Lighting designers need to decide whether to choose lanterns (chandeliers, wall lamps, ceiling lamps) or downlights, spotlights, and light strips according to the information inspected in the previous steps, such as building structure, style, height, load bearing, application scenarios, and owner's preferences.

Installation and debugging of intransitive verbs

This step is a step to truly show the overall lighting effect. The installation height, off-line length, surface installation or concealed installation of lamps have great influence on the lighting effect. Moreover, the final lighting effect is often influenced by many factors such as installation height, number and wattage of light sources, shading angle, color of floor and wall, home materials and colors.

Seven, after-sales service

Like the lighting design in Sun Shi, the lighting design service provided is a complete set from scheme formulation, lighting supply to installation and construction. So after-sales service is also essential.
