At KPA Electrical, we believe lighting defines a space. From concept to completion, our in-house team collaborates with clients, consultants, and design professionals to deliver tailor-made lighting schemes that enhance function, mood, and aesthetics. This makes the space perfect for its intended use.
Our Lighting Design Approach
Gather the client’s objectives, review architectural plans, and assess room dimensions, ceiling heights, surface finishes, and natural light sources.
This establishes the framework for lighting requirements and highlights any constraints or opportunities for daylight integration.
Divide the space into zones based on activities workstations, meeting areas, circulation, display areas, and breakout zones. For each zone, document tasks, sightlines, and occupancy patterns to guide lighting intensity and distribution.
Determine the desired ambience for each zone:
Align these objectives with the client’s branding, wellness goals, and user experience.
Select fixtures and mounting options to balance glare control and visual comfort.
Refer to recognised standards for illuminance requirements. Below are recommendations for common commercial areas:
Area
Create schematic layouts showing fixture types, quantities, and placements.
Factor in beam angles, mounting heights, and mounting distances to achieve uniformity targets and avoid dark spots.
Integrate dimming systems, occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting controls, and scene presets. Tailor control strategies to user convenience and energy-saving objectives.
Use lighting design software to model illuminance, uniformity ratios, and glare indices.
Refine fixture positions and control settings to meet performance targets before issuing final drawings.
Produce
Oversee in-house installation, verify cable routing, fixture alignment, and control wiring.
Conduct on-site tuning and lux measurements, adjust settings for mood scenes, and hand over as-built documentation.
