LG23 Creativity and Compliance

This guide, in its first edition, provides broad advice on the theory, practice and process of lighting design itself.  Rather than focussing on a specific aspect of lighting, this guide addresses the overall architectural lighting design process, giving guidance on approaches to creative design and delivery, appropriate for any lighting design project, large or small.  It is aimed at anyone who bears responsibility for the design of the lighting on a project, including lighting designers, architects, interior designers, landscape architects, electrical engineers, lighting manufacturers and contractors.  The guide aims to support improvement of the quality of lighting design carried out throughout the built environment.

It has been written at a time of unprecedented change in lighting design and is the recognition of an important aspect of the design of the built environment. 

Over the last two decades we have seen the advent of an entirely new type of light source – the LED.  We are subject to considerable pressure to minimise energy use and to deliver sustainable project outcomes with strong consideration of the circular economy.  We also have a greater understanding of how light can affect the health and wellbeing of building occupants, and therefore a responsibility to ensure we take this into consideration.  Alongside this there is a constantly changing landscape of legislation and further digital innovation creating new possibilities. 

This guide attempts to support the person responsible for the lighting design of a project to navigate these issues and deliver a successful design.
