How we choose a fitting

Every luminaire has a shape. This is how you read it.

A polar intensity distribution is the first thing a lighting designer looks at and the last thing anyone else ever sees. Move the controls: the curve is computed from the values you set, and the cards below are lit by whatever you specify.

Architectural Lighting Design

Full interior and exterior lighting design from concept through to focus, for buildings where the night view is part of the brief.

Facade and Urban Lighting

Exterior schemes for landmarks, bridges and public space, designed against obtrusive light limits from the first sketch rather than defended afterwards.

Daylight and Circadian Strategy

Daylight modelling and tunable white strategy for workplaces, galleries and care environments, tied to measured outcomes rather than marketing claims.

Beam angle: The cone within which intensity stays above half of its peak. It is what you aim; it is not what the eye sees at the edge.
Field angle: The wider cone down to a tenth of peak. This is where the spill lands, which is why it decides whether a neighbour complains.
Correlated colour temperature: Describes the source in isolation and almost nothing about how a surface will read once the light lands on it. Always test on the real material.
