Remote lighting design · New York, NY

why does a room with six lamps still feel dim at eight o’clock?

Send us a few photos and a floor plan. We’ll draw the light in layers, schedule every fixture and hand you a sourcing list your electrician can read, in five business days.

Before you ask

the questions we’d want answered first

One

can you light a room you’ve never stood in?

Yes. Three photos from the corners, a floor plan or a tape-measure sketch, and a few lines on how you use the room tell us ceiling height, finishes, windows and daylight. If anything is unclear, we ask the same day before drawing a thing.

Two

will I need an electrician?

For anything that moves a ceiling box or adds a circuit, yes. The plan set is drawn for your electrician: circuits labelled, switch positions marked, dimmer types matched to drivers. Swapping bulbs and plug-in lamps you can do yourself, and we flag which is which.

Three

do you sell the fixtures?

No, and that’s deliberate. The sourcing list gives you links, finishes and two price tiers for every fixture, so you buy from whichever retailer or trade account suits you, with nothing marked up in between.

Four

what if the plan needs a change after it arrives?

Every project includes a revision call. We talk it through, adjust the drawings and re-issue the schedule, usually within two business days. Evening calls are available by appointment.

How it works

a quiet five days, from phone photos to a plan set

Day one

send three photos and a floor plan

A snapshot from each corner, a tape-measure sketch if you have no drawing, and a note on how you use the room. We confirm we have everything the same business day, so you’re never left wondering whether it arrived.

Days two to four

we draw the light in layers

Ambient, task and accent, plotted on a reflected ceiling plan with every circuit labelled. We consider the switch you reach for in the dark, the lamp by the reading chair and the glare on the television wall.

Day five

the plan set arrives, ready for your electrician

A PDF plan, a fixture schedule with finishes, lumen output and colour temperature, and a sourcing list with links. We book your revision call while you read it, at a time that suits you.

What you receive

everything that lands in your inbox on day five

What we think about

four decisions we make before we choose a single fixture

  1. layers before fixtures

    Ambient, task and accent are planned first, so no single ceiling light has to do everything for the whole room.

  2. colour temperature, room by room

    2700K where you wind down, 3000K where you cook and read, with CRI 90+ called out on every line of the schedule.

  3. dimming matched to the driver

    Each dimmer is paired with the fixtures’ drivers on the schedule, so nothing buzzes or flickers at ten percent.

  4. glare kept out of sightlines

    Beam angles and mounting positions are drawn against where you actually sit, so you see the light and not the lamp.
