Why we use it
BCG coordinates lighting early because framing, ceilings, cabinetry, switches, dimmers, and controls all depend on it.
Character
Quiet layers of ambient, task, accent, and exterior light can make a room feel calm at different times of day.
What we look for
Fixture quality, color temperature, dimming compatibility, control strategy, lead times, and serviceability.
Design considerations
Fixture placement should align with cabinetry, beams, art, mirrors, doors, and furniture plans.
Installation considerations
Blocking, switch locations, driver access, dimming compatibility, and trim installation need early decisions.
Common mistakes
Over-lighting rooms, mixing color temperatures, or placing recessed lights without regard for architecture.
Maintenance + aging
Drivers, lamps, transformers, and controls should remain accessible and documented for future service.
