Illuminations lighting Design will soon be opening a new location in Austin, Texas. Already, we have received a number of questions and work from excited Austin resident’s business owners about the multiple service offerings we bring to the table.
We introduce ourselves to the Capitol of Texas not only as a company that can meet all the lighting design needs of Austin businesses and homeowners, but also as a firm who shares the same core values of one of America’s most beloved cities.
What makes ILD’s architectural lighting unique?
We are unique in that we enhance, rather than replace, the creativity of the client. We design architectural and landscape lighting systems through ongoing consultation, and we use our equipment and expertise to complete and magnify what the client initiates.
Austin building owners often have excellent ideas of their own on how to light their buildings. They may not have access to the same equipment, however, that a commercial Austin lighting company such as ILD can obtain. We can obtain fixtures from the world’s leading manufacturers in lighting equipment and install them with special techniques learned from architectural design partners.
By concealing the fixtures themselves, we can light Austin buildings with what appears to be sourceless illumination.
Does Illuminations Lighting also do outdoor and landscape lighting?
Yes, and we do it in a way that is hand in glove with Austin’s Earth conscious value system.
We are one of the few Austin lighting companies to make it a matter of policy to only use environmentally friendly equipment and methods of installation. No trees are ever harmed or damaged in our lighting arrays.
Unlike competing firms who only use two layers of light, ILD uses four. We combine security, tree lighting, architectural lighting, and a number of decorative lighting techniques to develop an entire outdoor lighting system that unifies human progress with Natural form and evolution.
Do you offer indoor commercial interior lighting?
Yes, and we do so with practical aesthetics and power savings foremost in mind. We create an upbeat environment that dispels all pockets of shadow throughout the room. When necessary, we use special fixtures with glare shielding to protect employee eyes and maximize morale by maximizing comfort and ergonomics.
Regardless of the nature or size of any Austin business, our boardroom lighting, executive office lighting, and even kitchen lighting designs can reduce costs and improve office moral with better light and sensibility.
What type of lighting designs do you offer to Austin residential clients?
Lighting control systems, whole house audio, home theaters, and even home automation networks are just some of the many options we can integrate into residential lighting systems.
The exact nature of the system is always customized according the preference of the client. Functionality and taste must be a reflection of the person, not an imposition of the vendor.
Our philosophy is to listen, plan, and equip. Our team consists of licensed electricians and electrical design professionals who can not only install the best systems, but also lay the safest and most cost effective foundation for those systems.
Residents of Austin’s West Lake and South Brodie neighborhoods are also people with high expectations of themselves and lighting their art. They did not accomplish their success by being underachievers. When we work with such a art lighting client, we work to make his or her home a high-performance extension of personality, mind, and activity.

The Austin hospitality industry reflects both the idyllic surroundings of the Texas Hill Country and the eclectic, forward motion of one of America’s most creative and progressive urban environments.
Austin resort hotels, bed and breakfasts, and five star restaurants attract visitors from all over the United States, and they are popular weekend getaways for Texans throughout the state that may not live in Austin, but nevertheless love Austin almost like a second home.
Considering theses facts, it is readily apparent that lighting is an essential component of Austin hospitality services both as a functional necessity and a refined aspect of design
Developing a lighting system for any location requires first an understanding of its many elements, and, secondly, planning and developing a interior lighting and exterior landscape lighting system that will establish and elevate the essence of place, time, and action.
Restaurant Lighting
Almost every Austin hotel has a restaurant that requires high end lighting design to create atmosphere special attention from a decorative and lighting perspective. Indirect and colored lighting play pivotal roles in creating a sense of romantic excursion to an evening where time feels suspended in a moment where light creates emotion as well as visibility.
ILD offers a number of very specialized and proprietary restaurant lighting services that you may read bout by clicking here.
Meeting Room Lighting
Meetings represent a major service offering of the Austin hospitality industry. Many companies and executives utilize hotel meeting rooms and boardrooms to hold important meetings and seminars for keynote presentations.
Hospitality Meeting rooms and executive office lighting requires exceptionally bright lights for motivation and presentation, but they also require lighting controls to lower lighting levels for any audio/visual segments of an event.
Lighting Interior Guests Rooms
The Hospitality Association of Texas represents a prominent authority in Hill Country inns, bed and breakfasts, and five star hotels. ILD’s team works to engineer lighting systems in full compliance with local codes. Meticulous attention to advanced electrical systems such as reading lights, task lighting for safe movement within the room, kitchenette lighting, and adequate, cost effective bathroom lighting all figure prominently into our designs.
Additionally, Illuminations Lighting and Design’s extensive experience working in the residential indoor lighting design services industry enables us to introduce a variety of lighting elements that contribute to the experience of convenience and comfort and reflect the decorative elements of the interior to create a sense of balance and comfort.
This creates a feeling for guests of being home away from home when they first arrive in their rooms. The feeling sense of total privacy and safe, isolated comfort adds to a sense of sanctuary to the essence of luxury.
Hotel Lobby Lighting
The human element of hospitality begins here, in the lobby. The lighting must focus on detail as much as it does grand design.
The lobby area is definitely an area where hospitality lighting designers have to be almost mathematical in establishing points of expression, areas of task, architectural lighting and moods of decorum that both differentiate and unite into an aesthetic of welcome. It must be brightly lit with minimal reflective glare, so it is necessary to often use very sophisticated and proprietary lighting fixtures to illuminate certain key elements as ornate antique furniture, Fine art & display lighting, bookshelves, and especially rare works of art and statuary.
Illuminations Lighting and Design specialists also pay very close attention to the practical demands of booking guests and customer service. Hospitality lighting in these areas will create an upbeat atmosphere of activity accomplished through soft, recessed lighting and stronger, indirect lighting from above that “washes” surfaces in light without blinding the eyes.
