Why did you choose this specific luminary, and how/where/why do you imagine using it is in commercial space of your own design
I selected those luminaries for the reason that I am searching for a very unique ambience. My intention inside is performing arts of every space that I am planning to design those will show most of the local and regional arts and promote tourism. The chandeliers that I really like are many but I pick 3: Talia 33” Large Eight Light Chandelier, Loire Large Chandelier, Novu Aged Gold Brass (those I want to use in the restaurant), Magma 7 Light Led Chandelier
What questions did you ask the rep and why, and what did you learn from the conversation?
How do you think to use lighting to enhance the size and shape of the room?
Rody says that it depends, if you want to make appear large use indirect lighting, such as wall scones or sunlight to bounce light off the walls and create a sense of spaciousness. Use warm light and focus illumination on specific areas to create a more intimate atmosphere like your guestrooms if you planning to do.
What are some important considerations for lighting in a restaurant for example?
Restaurant lighting design should enhance the dining experience and create the desired ambiance. Task lighting for tables could provide sufficient illumination for guests to read menus and see their food clearly, also the accent lighting for features helps to Highlight architectural details, artwork, or decorative elements and dimmable lights for mood control where you can adjust brightness levels to create different moods throughout the evening
What is your understanding of the role of lighting in creating a sustainable and energy-efficient building?
Led Technology, but this could be affected in you led time for your luminaries some leds take more time to receive the order, dimming controls and occupancy sensors to minimize energy consumption. if you have a chance to incorporate a solar power or other renewable energy sources to power lighting systems could be great.
What is the led time on this particular fixtures?
It takes around 3 to 4 weeks but some led’s takes a little bit around like 8 weeks.
Could you show me some alternatives similar but different budgets, where I can see and try maybe into my project?
Rody gave me a folder with some brands that they are carried where she explained to me the differences between Feature Lighting Brands vs Lighting brands, there is a big different between prices and some features plus the technology
Summarise your reflection on this experience. What went well? What was challenging?
The experience was very successful because I got the opportunity to work with some reps but in other areas like fabrics, furniture but not lighting.
Share if you think you would like to work with this person again in the future or might you look elsewhere and why?
For sure Rody was very professional, she spent a good time with me, and was very dedicated for each luminary where she can perceive I feel interest to know about it.
