A complete rebuild and overhaul for an existing garden lighting system of a beautiful English country garden followed by further stages of expansions as sections of the gardens developed.  A pleasure and a privilege to work with such a beautiful and creative garden.

Objective: Illumination of paths, features, trees, bbq, outbuildings, gates, and even integrated lighting into new estate railings

Lighting:  Custom built on site & then copper plated lighting parts, custom built lighting from LightVisuals, recondition original Hunza luminaires & Louie Polson luminaires along with new luminaires from OriginalBTC & iGuzzini.

Control: Existing Light Symphony controls reprogrammed & the system expanded with well over 20x control units spread throughout the site to create many micro installations easily maintained & discreetly hidden. All operated by app, dusk-till-dawn timers & gate triggers for short periods while parking & passing through areas when lights are scheduled to be off.

Kitchen to be replaced without lifting floor tiles or damage to walls while implementing an all new lighting design throughout the new kitchen

Objective: Illumination of glass backsplash, finger rails, island surface, side work surface, under cabinet, cabinet fronts (symmetrically) and introduce pendants to island and table areas.

Lighting: A mixture of John Cullen, Tala and Foscarini luminaries and the use of Soraa LED lamps allowing for various beam angle lenses to prefect the scheme.

Control: Rako modules at each location allowed via localised power supplies but wirelessly linked allowed for the illusion of a single circuit for plinth lighting and for finger rail lighting. Rako allowed for additional circuits within the ceiling, under unit lighting & within units. Scene selection at discreet wall plates can be tweaked in-app by the end user and occupancy sensors offer convenience of low level lighting when passing through at night without needing to turn anything on or off

Hand made lighting on the PortNellan Highland Lodges estate in Crianlarich for the entrance and gates

Objective: Illumination of signs, trees, drive verge and the gate themselves.

Lighting: Hand made lighting developed with the client and built onsite.

Control: Light Symphony modular control system will allow for expansion across the site. The system will overcome complications with the sites geography and allow for separate RF installations which link by the sites internet connections.

Mission: Design a lighting concept to elevate the ambience for a lounge & enjoy it’s features. The room renovations required solutions to avoid new wiring in the walls minimising repair works. Supply, build & project manage all works bar the decorating.

Affect: Focused lighting accentuate the wall art & pillars. Uplighting of fireplace. Linear shadow gap illumination of original cornice. Illumination of central table. Multiple zone control for ease of scene control.

Lighting solutions: Creation of a dropped ceiling allowed for shadow lighting to illuminate the cornice & provide a space for control modules.  Soraa lamps with magnetic lenses allowed for narrow washes of light along the pillars without spilling to the sides. Various lens sizes allowed us to highlight each peace of art specifically. Glare control parts used on all luminaires to ensure a glare free environment, a must!

Control solutions: Rako modules allowed for separate power supplies to be used from the basement below for a lighting socket to service the clients existing standing lamp & for new accent lighting at the fireplace. Rako modules also allowed for separate power supply to be used from a bedroom above to service multiple circuits in, on & behind the new dropped ceiling.

Rebuild an existing garden lighting system using Light Symphony lighting controls for a garden on a prestigious housing estate in Oxshott. Convert Halogen luminaires to LED. Incorporate new lighting to the landscaping project for a new fire pit & surrounding area.

Affect: Wash of lighting to the floor area between the pit & seating. Highlight the pleached trees behind the seating & re-light the large oak tree.

Lighting solutions: Small recessed floor wash lights reversed to light the upstaged to the seats & therefore creating an ambience of light glowing from the white rendered wall. The reversing technique is also a way of glare control. Well positioned spike spot lights highlight the trees & the clients existing large in-ground light was fitted into a suitably sized plant pot, semi-recessed behind the rendered wall a the back of the seating. This technique minimises the effects from burying fittings, stops ground cover building up over the light which smothers its output & aids any future maintenance allowing for a new lease of life to fittings like this one.

Control solutions: Light Symphony control units allowed for multiple power supplies from different sides of the house & from the garage. These micro installations minimise the impact from fault scenarios avoiding the loss of all lighting as common with basic conventional installations. New additional projects are easily added with this module concept.

Installation of garden lighting to the whole grounds to include the entrance gates, drive, front garden, side garden, rear garden and lighting on the exterior of the building.

These micro installations minimise the impact from fault scenarios avoiding the loss of all lighting as common with conventional hard-wired switching installations.
