A clearer lighting brief

A useful lighting brief connects the feeling of a space to the tasks it supports. Complete these prompts before asking a qualified lighting designer or contractor to specify equipment.

Describe the space

  • Record room dimensions, ceiling height and the location of natural light.
  • List the main activities: arrival, reading, desk work, dressing and cleaning.
  • Note the surface finishes that may reflect or absorb light.

Define the experience

  • Describe the desired atmosphere in plain language.
  • Identify ambient, task and accent lighting needs.
  • Record preferences for colour appearance and consistency across fittings.

Make it usable

  • Map switching locations and controls reachable from the bed.
  • Ask for accessible controls and clearly labelled scenes.
  • Review glare, dimming behaviour and night-time navigation.

Plan the handover

  • Request a sample or mock-up before a large order.
  • Agree on replacement parts, cleaning access and maintenance instructions.
  • Have a qualified professional confirm electrical and emergency-lighting compliance.
