When should I involve a lighting designer?

The ideal time is during the planning phase of a renovation or new build, before electrical rough-in. However, we regularly work with completed homes to upgrade existing schemes. Even a single room consultation can dramatically improve comfort and atmosphere.

Do you work with my existing electrician?

Yes. We provide detailed circuit diagrams, fixture schedules, and dimming specifications that any qualified electrician can follow. We are available for site visits during installation to verify beam angles and dimming curves.

What is the difference between a Lighting Review and a full design?

A Lighting Review (CHF 180) is a focused 90-minute session where we assess your current setup and provide written recommendations. A full design package includes complete specifications, fixture schedules, and coordination documents suitable for construction.

Can you illuminate artwork without damaging it?

Absolutely. We specify low-UV, low-heat fixtures with appropriate lux levels and beam angles. For valuable collections, we consult conservation guidelines and recommend IR/UV filtering where necessary.

Do you design exterior and garden lighting?

Yes. Our Garden & Exterior package (CHF 1,650) covers pathway markers, terrace accents, stair lights, and facade uplighting. All fixtures are IP-rated for Swiss weather conditions.

What smart home systems do you support?

We design for Lutron, KNX, Casambi, and Philips Hue Pro systems. Control design is included in our Whole-Home Concept and Premium Full Service packages.

How long does a typical project take?

A single room design takes two to three weeks from initial consultation to final specification. Whole-home concepts require four to six weeks depending on property size. Installation timelines depend on your electrician's schedule.

Do you serve areas outside Zürich?

We serve the entire canton of Zürich, the Gold Coast, Zürich Oberland, and select projects in neighbouring cantons. Travel beyond 25 km from the city centre is billed at CHF 220/h.

Can I purchase fixtures through you?

Yes. We offer trade pricing on most specified products and handle procurement as part of our Premium Full Service (CHF 5,200). For other packages, procurement assistance is available at CHF 220/h.
