Lighting Design - Vaulted Ceilings

[bob the builder 2]

Hi All

 

We are just working out how best to light the vaulted ceilings in our new build.

 

Any tips or recommendations for a good lighting designer gratefully received.

 

Many Thanks

we used Eleni Shiarlis (https://www.eslightingdesign.co.uk) for our lighting design concept. love the ideas she came up with.

What ever you make sure you can maintain it later when lights fail.  No point doing something that requires a scaffold to fix.  Also the further the light from where you want it the dimmer the light will feel.

 

We went for up and down lighters high on the wall.  Overall it works great, easy to maintain, light where you need it.

I do most of the lighting designs for my clients, not rocket science really, just more knowing what products are best suited to which applications / locations. 
For vaulted, I quite like the plaster in up-lighters as above 👌. 
Pics don’t really do it justice tbh.

I'm in the process of lighting this part of the house, having main light hanging down from centre and looking at plastered in led profiles either side .

These have the lamps in the base and cast a nice soft spread up the ceiling. OCD on centres, height etc is essential so the ‘fans’ of light are all the same on the vaulted areas 👍.

Yup. I bet there is little to no ‘glare’ off those. Nice lights btw. Less of a PITA to fit compared to the sink-in plaster lights, but they are worth the extra effort imho.
