Bianchi Lighting listen to our clients to determine what it is they want to achieve.

What knowledge does a designer use?

  • A Lighting designer, must know the principals of electrical installations.
  • Have in depth knowledge of lamps sold on the market and how to best make use of them.
  • A designer has knowledge of the files created which map the light emitted from light fittings produced by manufacturers – Photometry files.

These files are created to specific standards in a laboratory. Values indicate how intense a light source is and from what distance.

The values and direction are logged and contained such that specific lighting software can interpret the results into a 3D Map.
