What We Offer
Professional Lighting Design Services
Lumenata is a UK lighting design consultancy creating thoughtful, practical and visually striking lighting schemes for residential, commercial and specialist projects.
From initial concept to product sourcing and installation coordination, we help homeowners, architects, interior designers, developers and contractors realise the full potential of their spaces. Every scheme is tailored to the architecture, intended use, budget and atmosphere of the project.
Whether you are designing a new home, renovating an existing property, developing a commercial space or preparing a planning application, our experienced team can provide the creative and technical guidance you need.
Complete Lighting Design Support
Successful lighting design involves far more than choosing attractive fittings. It requires careful consideration of architecture, natural light, room layouts, interior finishes, controls, energy use and the needs of the people who will occupy the space.
Lumenata can support your project from concept through to completion. Our services can be commissioned individually or combined to provide a coordinated lighting solution.
Depending on the requirements of your project, our lighting design work can include:
Bespoke Lighting Design
Our lighting design service begins with understanding your project, your priorities and how each space needs to look and function.
We develop bespoke schemes that complement the architecture and interior design while providing the correct balance of ambient, task, accent and decorative lighting. The result is a layered lighting scheme that feels comfortable, performs effectively and enhances the character of the property.
Depending on the requirements of your project, our lighting design work can include:
Initial consultation and project review
Lighting concepts and creative direction
Lighting layouts and specification
Circuiting and switching recommendations
Lighting-control strategies
Emergency-lighting considerations
Interior, exterior and landscape lighting
Coordination with architects and interior designers
Technical support throughout the project
Our team works across residential, commercial, retail, hospitality, heritage, wellbeing and public-sector environments.
Lighting Product Sourcing and Supply
The quality and suitability of the specified products are fundamental to the success of a lighting design.
Through our sister company, Luxle Lighting Supplies Limited, we can source high-quality lighting products from an extensive network of trusted manufacturers. This allows us to identify products that fit the creative concept, technical requirements and available budget rather than restricting a scheme to a single manufacturer.
Our close relationship between design and supply provides clients with a coordinated route from the original concept to the delivery of suitable lighting equipment.
Installation Coordination and Technical Support
Even the best lighting design can be compromised by poor installation or insufficient coordination.
Lumenata works with clients, contractors and a network of trusted electrical professionals to help ensure that the design is interpreted correctly. We can answer technical questions, clarify specifications and support the project team as the scheme moves towards installation and commissioning.
This collaborative approach helps identify issues early and maintains the original design intent throughout the project.
Lighting Controls and Energy Efficiency
Lighting controls allow a space to adapt to different activities, times of day and levels of natural light. They can also reduce unnecessary energy consumption and extend the useful life of lighting equipment.
We can advise on switching, dimming, scene setting, occupancy detection and other control options appropriate to the project. Our recommendations balance usability with performance, helping clients avoid systems that are either too limited or unnecessarily complicated.

Our Lighting Design Process:
1. Initial Consultation
We begin by discussing the property, project stage, intended use, design ambitions, timescale and budget.
2. Project Review
Our team reviews the available drawings, layouts, finishes and technical information to understand the opportunities and constraints.
3. Concept and Design
We develop a tailored lighting approach, considering the visual effect, practical requirements, fitting positions and controls.
4. Specification and Product Selection
Suitable lighting products are identified based on performance, appearance, quality, efficiency and budget.
5. Coordination
We work with the wider project team to answer questions, resolve details and integrate the lighting scheme with the architecture and interior design.
6. Installation Support
Where required, we provide technical guidance during installation and help protect the original design intent through to completion.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I appoint a lighting designer?
Ideally, a lighting designer should become involved during the early design stages. This allows lighting positions, wiring, controls, ceiling details and joinery lighting to be coordinated before construction is too advanced. However, we can also review projects that are already underway.
Do you work with homeowners directly?
Yes. We work with homeowners as well as architects, interior designers, developers and contractors. We can adapt our service to the scale of the project and the level of professional support already in place.
Can you supply the lighting products you specify?
Yes. Products can be sourced and supplied through our sister company. This provides a coordinated connection between the lighting design and product supply.
Do you offer lighting design throughout the UK?
Yes. Lumenata works on residential, commercial and specialist lighting projects across the UK.
Can you help with exterior lighting for a planning application?
Yes. We provide exterior lighting design and lighting impact assessments for planning-related projects, including developments where light spill, dark skies or wildlife habitats must be considered.
Can you work with our architect or interior designer?
Yes. Collaboration is central to our approach. We regularly work with architects, interior designers, contractors, developers, ecologists and other project professionals.
Do you only work on large projects?
No. We can support projects of different sizes, from individual rooms and home extensions to complete properties and larger commercial or specialist developments.
Can you manage the installation of our lighting?
Yes, we work with a network of approved installers that can install your lighting products for you.
