Stages of creating a lighting system project
Drawing up the technical specifications
The technical specifications are drawn up in order to accurately formulate the task, determine the primary and secondary goals of the project, clarify the customer's requirements and the features of the illuminated object. Drawing up the technical specifications is an important stage of cooperation, the contractor carries it out in close contact with the customer.
Site inspection
After drawing up the technical specifications, a visit to the site is made for the purpose of its visual inspection, measurements and photographic recording, and at this stage the existing design documentation is also requested. This set of measures is necessary to form an objective assessment.
Illumination calculation
Illumination calculation is the process of determining the level of illumination in a room or area in order to ensure comfortable and safe conditions for work, rest or other activities. Illumination is measured in lx (lux).
Development of the estimate
Developing a lighting estimate helps the customer understand the cost of the project, optimize the budget, and ensure high-quality and efficient lighting of the premises.
3D visualization
3D visualization of a lighting project is the process of creating a three-dimensional model of a room or area, taking into account the placement of lamps, light sources and calculation of illumination. To clearly demonstrate the idea of lighting, designers use special computer programs.
Selection and arrangement of equipment
Development of a plan for the arrangement of lamps taking into account the geometry of the room and functional zones. Taking into account the height of the installation of lamps. Using specialized software to calculate the arrangement of lamps.
Cost calculation and justification
The justification of the lighting project should include an analysis of the efficiency and feasibility of using certain types of lamps, the level of illumination, compliance with regulations and safety requirements. The cost and justification of the lighting project are presented to the customer in the form of a documented estimate, which will contain all the necessary calculations, explanations and justifications for the choice of certain solutions.
Preparation of technical documentation
This document includes all the data on the lighting project: from the general lighting plan to detailed drawings and equipment specifications. Technical documentation is necessary for the correct installation and operation of the lighting system, as well as for its subsequent service support.
Lighting Project Price
The cost of a lighting project is the total amount of money required to develop, install and operate a lighting system in a specific room or facility. This cost includes the costs of purchasing lamps, components, materials, assembly and installation work, as well as electricity and maintenance costs. What is taken into account when calculating it?
- Evaluation of the scope of work, which includes determining the area of the room and functional zones that require lighting, estimating the number and types of lamps needed to provide the required illumination, taking into account the complexity of installation work (e.g. the height of the lamps, the presence of suspended ceilings, etc.).
- Specification of equipment and materials. Compiling a list of the necessary lamps, bulbs, dimmers, cables, sockets and other components of the lighting system, as well as taking into account the cost of each element and their quantity.
- Calculation of labor costs: an estimate of the time required to install lamps, lay cables, configure the control system, etc. is made.
- Accounting for additional costs.
Detailing the lighting project
The level of elaboration of the design documentation is determined by the degree of its detail. The level of detail of the documents will depend on the following factors:
- Area of the premises.
- Purpose of the premises (office, store, production, residential premises, etc.).
- Lighting requirements (main lighting, additional lighting, emergency lighting, etc.).
- Color temperature of lighting.
- Lighting control system.
GOSTs and SNiPs in lighting design
The design of artificial lighting should be carried out taking into account such regulatory documents as SNiPs and GOSTs. The main regulatory documents for lighting design are:
- SNiP 23-05-95 “Lighting, Heating, Ventilation”: this regulatory document contains requirements for lighting of premises for various purposes, including illumination standards, uniformity of lighting, color temperature and other parameters.
- GOST R 50571.5-93 “Lighting. "Natural and artificial lighting standards": this standard sets requirements for lighting of buildings and structures, including illumination standards, permissible values of glare and shadow, and other parameters.
- SanPiN 2.2.2/2.4.1340-03 "Hygienic requirements for the microclimate of industrial premises": this sanitary and epidemiological standard specifies hygienic requirements for lighting of workplaces, including illumination parameters, color temperature, and other factors.
Depending on the specific type of premises or facility, specialized regulatory documents or recommendations may be applied, taking into account the lighting features for certain conditions.
A professional approach to the design of artificial lighting is the shortest way to optimize costs and increase your profits. Since a well-designed lighting project will allow you to avoid unnecessary expenses during its implementation and save on electricity later, it is important to choose an experienced contractor to create it. The organization must have experience and qualifications of specialists in the field of lighting, electrical engineering, architecture and design to ensure professional and high-quality implementation of the project.
Order lighting design from Fossa Electric
The lighting company Fossa Electric offers to develop a lighting project for you, adapted to economical operating conditions. Our staff includes lighting designers, design engineers, estimators. In our work we use both classical methods and the latest lighting techniques that determine the aesthetics of perception, ergonomics of space, energy efficiency and electrical and fire safety.
Where to apply for a lighting project
- Projects in Moscow and beyond. We do everything to make architecture attract attention.
- There are no standard solutions and fixed prices. Each project is unique, so the calculation of the cost of architectural lighting and the preparation of an estimate are made to order.
- The exact cost of the architectural lighting service for a building is determined after visiting the site and preparing an estimate. The price dependst from the type of facade lighting and the type of project.
