So, you’re in charge of a project’s lighting. You don’t want to spend all your time telling developers where their designs fall short and would rather focus on the strategic stuff: how to deliver the right lighting service for your local authority. Or maybe you’ve got a special project where you want to let a new lighting contract. We’re here to offer as little or as much lighting design service delivery support as you need — we’re your lighting design consultants after all!
Your guiding light
Our experienced engineer teams have a wealth of knowledge across various areas of lighting, having produced countless first-class residential and public realm lighting schemes over the years. Not only this, but we also know a lot about lighting impact assessments (LIAs) and the latest British and European lighting standards.
Plus, we’ve helped local authorities deliver many different solutions as part of successful lighting services to their local residents and businesses. So, with all our knowledge and close work with local authorities, we’re able to really understand the challenges faced with new lighting projects.
How can our skills and knowledge help you in your day-to-day, you ask? That’s entirely up to you!
Help as and when you need it
As part of our lighting consultancy service, our teams provide support with a long list of tasks and procedures. For example, we offer:
- Street lighting inventory reviews.
- Assets checks.
- Site visits.
- Design reviews.
- Support in the management and delivery of street lighting improvement projects.
- Secondment of staff to local authority.
- Producing lighting policy documents and asset management plans
- Management of EV charging installation projects.
- Contract preparation support and guidance for new-term maintenance contracts and other lighting/electrical projects.
We can also help train your bright sparks through our very own LAMP Academy — sharing our knowledge to upskill your teams. Or, if that’s not what you’re after, we can help with developer lighting design checks and lighting surveys.
We’re also around day or night to provide extra assistance if needs be — whatever it takes to overcome your project challenges.
