Who we are

At RTLD, we believe that light has the extraordinary power to transform spaces, elevate experiences, and create moments of awe. For two decades, we have been dedicated to harnessing this power, crafting immersive and innovative lighting solutions that leave a lasting impression.

The architectural lighting design process is a symphony of creativity, technical expertise, and attention to detail. From the initial concept to the final on-site adjustments, every step is crucial in achieving the perfect harmony of light and architecture. It's a journey that transforms spaces, evokes emotions, and leaves a lasting impression on those who experience it.

• 

  Conceptualization and Vision

  In the studio, lighting designers collaborate with architects, interior designers, and clients to conceptualize the lighting vision. This involves understanding the architecture, identifying focal points, and establishing lighting goals.

• 

  Design Development

  Once the vision is clear, the team starts developing lighting concepts. This includes selecting fixtures, calculating illumination levels, and integrating lighting seamlessly into architectural plans.

• 

  Simulation and Visualization

  Powerful software tools like Revit, Dailux, and 3D rendering software are employed to simulate and visualize how light will interact with the space. This allows for precise adjustments and fine-tuning before implementation.

• 

  Specification and Procurement:

  Fixture Selection - Detailed Documentation Comprehensive lighting plans and specifications are created, including luminaire schedules, wiring diagrams, and control system details. These documents guide contractors during installation.

• 

  Installation, Testing and Adjustment

  On-Site Execution - After installation, the lighting system undergoes rigorous testing. This ensures that each fixture is working as intended and that the lighting levels meet design specifications. Fine-tuning is an art form. Lighting designers work on-site to adjust angles, dimming levels, and color temperatures to create the desired atmosphere. This phase often involves considering how natural daylight interacts with artificial lighting.

• 

  Client Collaboration

  Client Feedback Throughout the process, designers maintain open communication with clients, understanding their preferences and making adjustments accordingly.

• 

  Maintenance and Sustainability

  Long-Term Care Architectural lighting is a long-term commitment. Regular maintenance ensures the system continues to function optimally. Sustainability Efforts are made to maximize energy efficiency through the use of LED technology, smart controls, and sustainable practices.
