LUX-SMITH Lighting & Controls Design

Lighting and controls are synergistic and must be designed as a unified system. New LED luminaires are capable of unbelievable optics with infinite variations in aesthetics, optic distribution, color and intensity. The designer must understand new technologies with precision to meet the requirements of each application. Only detailed 3D simulation can reproduce the hundreds of possible outcomes to arrive at the best solution that meets the design intent and performance criteria – all at the lowest cost. Optecha’s LUX-SMITH designs are highly predictive, accurate and designed to deliver results.

Architectural Design and Renderings

Technical Design and Renderings

Your firm is responsible for the project, design and budgets. Lighting impacts every aspect of your design, playing a critical role to your firm’s achievement, success and reputation. Lighting and controls are in the midst of a digital revolution, outpacing the industry’s ability to grasp and understand LED performance and mortality. A call for a devoted lighting solution provider has never been so important. Optecha’s playbook allows you to choose the level of design-assist. Whether it’s 3D modeling, tedious lighting calculations or multiple scenario predictive analysis, let Optecha collaborate with you to remove any guesswork and risk associated with lighting. Create some of the most exciting spaces that are impactful, practical, financially feasible and easy to maintain.

• leverage proven lighting and controls technology
• focus on creating the space vs products centric
• match color temperature and CRI with surrounding decor
• create the right amount of contrast to highlight architectural features
• new construction and retrofit programs
• interior and exterior lighting and controls
• extend the life of your lighting system reducing maintenance and energy by 40-70%
• create comfortable environments with uniform glare-free lighting
• exterior lighting that is contained to the property line and never into nearby homes or directly entering the skies
• integrate with other disciplines such as designers, electrical consultants, etc.
• clients can focus on their business and feel assured that lighting is correct, functional, safe and worry-free

Optimized lighting application design determines your win or loss for any opportunity. Too many luminaires or adversely too few can result in failing to meet budgets and specification, eliminating your potential to grow sales. Mastering the 3D world, lighting design programs and photometry are key to winning business. Being able to do this at a fraction of the time compared with others will prove to be your lowest cost.

• integrate with other disciplines such as architects, lighting designers, electrical consultants, etc.
• Optecha can balance throughput, increase speed to market, reduce headcount, overhead and help you meet critical deadlines
