Making Light Fixtures Disappear is Possible, But…

Expert Tips with Contact Delage!

In contemporary architectural design and electrical engineering, the demand for subtle, integrated lighting solutions has become the norm rather than the exception. With an increasing preference for ambient lighting that is discreet and source-free, design professionals face unique challenges in meeting this demand while ensuring premium aesthetics and optimal functional performance.

One of the primary challenges we face as professionals is meeting the expectations of clients who want light sources seamlessly integrated and visually unobtrusive. While this is achievable, it requires a thoughtful approach and advanced technical expertise to deliver optimal results.

In general, indirect lighting is the preferred solution to achieve this effect. This can be accomplished in several ways, such as using suspended fixtures designed to direct light upward or integrating illuminated niches around the room’s perimeter. However, it’s essential to note that this approach may require more fixtures than conventional solutions, like recessed lighting directed downward or towards work surfaces.

Beyond aesthetic considerations, it’s also crucial to address the practical and financial implications of these lighting choices. Extensive use of indirect lighting can lead to higher costs due to the increased number of fixtures required, as well as more complex installation and finishing requirements.

In conclusion, while achieving “invisible” lighting is possible, it requires careful planning and close collaboration between various project stakeholders from the earliest stages. At Contact Delage, we are committed to providing innovative lighting solutions that meet our clients’ unique needs while ensuring outstanding aesthetics and optimal performance.
