How is a lighting designer different from architects and interior designers The very mindset of people had been a stumbling block. Initially, years ago, it was difficult to make people realise that lighting is as textured and as nuanced a faculty as architecture. Good lighting doesn’t just happen; it’s designed. Beyond the perceptible design there are several factors at play — including glare control, colour temperature and optical control. If you are looking for seamless transition of places, you should ideally invest separately. People at large don’t want to wake up to the very idea of lighting design. And the fact that they do have to spend more the moment they start perceiving 'lights' in a different 'light' has conveniently facilitated ignorance. In India, in fact, even an electrician becomes a lighting consultant. We are specialists for a reason. We see more than what an architect or an interior designer can see. They see aesthetics more than functionality and we strike a balance between both while keeping in mind the maintenance factor. As lighting designers, we complement the work of the architects and interior designers.
