A Professional Guide to Commercial Lighting Customisation

To customise commercial lighting effectively, businesses must balance aesthetics with functional compliance. Key options include adjusting colour temperature (CCT) (4000K for offices, 3000K for hospitality), selecting UGR-compliant optics to reduce glare, and integrating emergency lighting for safety. For gyms, RGBW controls allow for high-energy transitions, while biophilic moss-integrated fixtures enhance office well-being.

Can We Offer Product Customisations and Bespoke Products?

Yes. Linear lighting rarely ships in a one-size-fits-all format and for good reason. A hospitality project has different demands from a corporate fit-out, and a sports facility requires a different specification entirely from a retail environment. This guide explains each customisation option we can offer. If you're unsure, contact us for friendly advice.

Estrella Pro, Flow Linears, and Astrowave rope lights can be configured across several key parameters: colour temperature, colour, sizing and shape, dimming, emergency provision, and optics. This guide explains each option, what it means in practice, and how to request a specification for your project.

 

 

Before Customising Your Lighting, Decide:

  • Mounting type: Recessed, surface, suspended.
  • Required brightness: Our lighting design team can help with this.
  • Glare requirements: UGR target. Our lighting design team can advise on the lighting that would best suit your environment.
  • Control system: DALI, Casambi, etc., if applicable.
  • Environment: IP rating, if needed, we can advise which lighting range would best meet your needs.

If you are unsure about any of the above, our expert lighting team can advise.

What Can You Customise In Linear Lighting?

You can either ask for customisations on products listed on our website or contact us about your project and we'll suggest or design our products to best match. As we have an in-house lighting design team and do UK in-house manufacturing, we can create products that best suit your vision.

Related FAQs

What is the lead time for custom lighting?

This completely depends on the specification on your lighting project. We will always ask for your project timeline so we can advise correctly and our suggestions would stay within your timeline.

Is custom lighting more expensive?

No. The majority of our products are made inhouse, we do not charge an additional fee for your lights to be custom made. Some customisations, for example dimming may be more expensive however it being customised does not make it more expenive.

Can I customise the technical performance of my lights?

Yes. Contact us with your requirements and our lighting design team can create your product with the requested technical performance. Customisation isn't just about looks; it's about performance. You can specify the lumen output (brightness), colour temperature (warm to cool), and optics (how the light spreads). We also offer advanced options like Tunable White and Emergency Lighting integration. By customising these elements, you ensure the lighting meets both the aesthetic and functional needs of your specific project.
