TGA Specialist Lighting brings together a group of experienced lighting designers who are passionate about lighting and the built environment.
Our lighting designers have many years of collective experience working on a diverse range of projects including retail, office, residential, education, healthcare and urban lighting. We are equally comfortable discussing visual comfort, circadian cycles, focus and materials as we are calculating glare ratings, power loads or lux levels.
Lighting design is the union of technical expertise and artistic vision. It can influence health and wellbeing and help drive sustainability. At its best, lighting can transform a space adding a different layer of intrigue and interest. We focus our designs on the impact of lighting on the end user as a human being while making sure the technical aspects are working smoothly.
