    Lighting helps to express architectural form and has a profound impact how people will emotionally respond to their environment.  It can also psychologically manipulate how individuals behave within a sequence of spatial experiences.  Well designed lighting is a powerful tool for any design professional, and will enhance the overall aesthetic.  For a business owner, good lighting design can drive profits; especially when the lighting equipment is correctly specified and properly placed.

     

    At GWA Lighting, we have accumulated a wealth of experience in how light is best employed for a variety of situations.  We select the most suitable equipment to meet your goals and the unique lighting needs for your project .  We will work with you and your design team to discover the key lighting challenges or constraints for your project.  Our designers will work with you for project insight and to define relevant lighting opportunities and manage associated costs.  Our professional expertise is formulated to design for optimum solutions.  The right solution will require both practicality and innovation. Ultimately, we are motivated to deliver quality lighting results through close collaboration with our clients.  We look forward to being an integral part of your team and actively involved in addressing your lighting needs.
