- What is the process of working with a Studio Lux lighting designer?
Studio Lux designers like to begin working with you at the conceptual
design phase of your project. By getting involved at this early stage,
we work with you to integrate lighting design into the planned architectural
approach. Our lighting team approaches each project design on a "concept
to completion" basis, beginning with an initial meeting to define
your needs. After the initial design phase, we work closely with you
to develop a "fixture vocabulary" which represents your clients'
tastes and interests, and document your creative vision.

- What services does Studio Lux offer that
would not be available through a manufacturer's representative or a
fixture distributor?
Our passion is to develop a design that speaks
to all of the intricacies of your project. We want that design process
to drive which fixtures and lamps are selected rather than allow available
product or product line to drive the design. Our broad product knowledge
and objectivity ensures that the best product will be specified for
your design. Lighting distributors and manufacturer's reps are motivated
by sales of their products. We are motivated by our passion for enhancing
mood and tone with light, our insights into technologies, and our technical
skills as designers to help solve your lighting challenges. The end
result of our design approach is that our solutions speak to the specific
needs of your work, rather than a successful sale of a branded product.

What distinguishes Studio Lux from other lighting
design firms?
We believe that as the project's architect, you retain control throughout
the design process. We work as an integrated part of your team. Our
job is to bring you vibrant, thought-provoking designs that enhance
your interiors or structures and illuminate your vision for success.
If needed, we can provide CAD drawings or renderings showing concept
to construction documents, or consult on an hourly basis. Most importantly,
we work hard to bring you fresh ideas, well-crafted solutions and
stimulating concepts that will excite you and your clients. We strive
to provide the language (fixture vocabulary) and the imagery to empower
your own work and to convey your key messages to your clients throughout
the entire production process.

How does Studio Lux reconcile energy efficiency
and sustainability with the creative design process?
A creative design can work in concert with energy efficiency. The
extensive product knowledge of our team allows us to build both highly
creative and highly efficient designs to meet your needs. We invest
a great amount of time and resources to stay abreast of the latest
in lamp and ballast technologies, and fixture photometry so we can
offer the best advice from both the aesthetic and the scientific world.
By being up-to-date on the latest developments in lighting fixtures
as well, we can specify the appropriate product for each application,
and design lighting control equipment to minimize energy use and maximize
sustainability and system efficiency, all the while keeping the creative
integrity of the design.

What is the breadth of your services?
By utilizing the strengths of all the members of the Studio Lux team,
our designs will comply with energy and national electrical code requirements.
We will show lighting control and dimming specifications and assist
in establishing fixture budgets that will aid in driving the design
process rather than the other way around. We make certain there are
no surprises. Our full scope of services can be found on our
