Lighting Design Services
What is the visual value of light?
First impressions are lasting impressions. Illumination and architecture are not independent entities. In fact, illumination is the creative extension of architecture. Without quality illumination; color, dimensions and shadows have no meaning in architecture. That is why Karpinski Engineering offers full professional lighting design services - we want to help maximize the visual impact of your architecture, while at the same time providing a quality lighted environment for your clients.
Our professional staff is lead by Marian K. Perez, LC, Associate IALD, Director of Lighting Design. Marian has over 12 years experience working on over 400 projects as a lighting designer.
- A member of the International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD). The IALD has the vision ‘to set the global standard for lighting design excellence;’ and is a strong indicator of a true lighting designer.
- Lighting Certified by the National Council on Qualifications for the Lighting Professional (LC)
- Active in both membership and participation of the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA).
- Award Winning. We have produced award winning lighting designs recognized by the IESNA at both local and regional levels.
- An advocate of lighting education – not only do we educate ourselves on the latest lighting issues, but can educate your staff as well.
- Knowledgeable. We utilize third party software to quantify our designs. This is a beneficial aspect of our services as we do not have to rely on manufacturer biased calculations, and can make revisions to a project before construction even begins.
Using light as our paintbrush and innovative design techniques as our palette, Karpinski Engineering’s lighting designers can be a unique, value-added resource to your project’s design team. We have the ability to transform any space to express a unique mood and atmosphere bringing your architecture to its fullest realization!
