Lighting: the biggest investment

Lighting: the biggest investment

Lighting is the item with the most investment and must be done most carefully. The architect designs the lights by the purpose of each area and accounts for all usage situations.

Glare-free lights with true colour

Glare-free lights with true colour

Lights that do not glare; true colour (CRI > 95-97 for large spaces); easy to change bulbs without damaging the plasterboard ceiling. The lighting layout drawing states for each bulb: lamp type, beam angle (e.g. 10°, 30°, 50°, 90°...). Check each position for glare on people sitting, going about their activities, watching TV...
