Planning for Light: The First Steps

Laying the groundwork for lighting in the early stages of planning and development is essential.  Installing the correct infrastructure such as wiring and cabling at the beginning of a project prevents complications later and allows for greater flexibility in design.  Thoughtful preparation ensures that lighting enhances the space seamlessly, without the need for costly modifications further down the process.

Consider how the space will be used and what mood you want to create.  Identify key features and elements that should be highlighted- shelving or decorative objects or the centre of a dining table.
