About earleylight
Inspired by the phenomenon of light, earleylight creates distinctive architectural lighting. As a design medium, light is powerful on many levels. Enabling our visual system to function, light reveals the world we live, work and play in, affecting virtually every aspect of daily life.
Light defines architecture, reveals forms & surfaces, and literally colors our perception of the physical world. Current scientific research states that at least fifty percent of the human brain is dedicated to vision, which supports the fact that light contributes significantly to our moods, is critical to our productivity and wellness, and even inspires peoples' sense of spirituality.
Architectural lighting design is a creative process involving the planning of a series of visual experiences using electric light sources, daylight, and lighting controls systems to meet the visual needs and desires of people. We excel in understanding a client’s needs and translating those needs into creative, sustainable lighting designs that are functional and beautiful.
At earleylight, we focus on commercial, hospitality, institutional, retail, and residential projects, including LEED certified projects. With a spirit of cooperation and teamwork, earleylight strives to improve the quality of the visual environment, regardless of the cost budget for lighting equipment. From lighting concepts, to punchlists, to final lighting aiming, earleylight has the talent, experience and knowledge to add value to any architectural project.
