Things to Consider When Upgrading Commercial Lighting or Electrical Systems
Commercial lighting design and installation require careful planning and professional execution. Before starting your project, consider:
Lighting type and purpose: Task, ambient, and accent lighting all serve different functions.
Energy efficiency: LED fixtures, daylight sensors, and smart controls can cut energy use dramatically.
Maintenance access: Fixtures should be positioned for easy service and long-term reliability.
Code compliance: All installations must meet Connecticut State Building Code and NEC standards.
Integration with other systems: Lighting can be tied into automation, emergency, or security systems.
Aesthetic design: Lighting not only affects performance — it defines the look and feel of your space.
Our team works with contractors, designers, and business owners to create functional, attractive lighting plans that enhance every environment.
