!we reveal space and form in the language of light

We believe that with Light, life commenced. Light is the integral part of every space we use. It is the 4th dimension in architecture and space.

At LDA we work with light. We understand its properties and effects, how and why it works. As Professional Lighting Designers we combine the art and science of light to create innovative solutions that bring out the true essence of the space and form.

Whilst architects, interior designers, landscape designers and electrical consultants, do have a working knowledge about lighting, professional designers at LDA have dedicated their careers, exclusively to the art and science of lighting. We believe in adding value to their design using light.

In the beginning God made l ight . . .

Luma Design Arts (LDA) is an independent consultancy company providing lighting design services.

We do not sell, install or maintain lighting equipment. Nor are we commercially aligned with any manufacturer or vendor.

Established in late 2003, creativity and a quest for excellence form the two pillars on which our practice is built on. We are passionate about delivering designs with international standards at a local reach. Our team is a healthy mix of young creative minds and seasoned experts in the field.

We believe that transformation of a society begins with self- transformation. Our management and staff are committed to ethical business practices and are members of “Unashamedly Ethical”

Luma Design Arts

We provide lighting design services in the following disciplines:

Architectural Lighting | Effects Lighting | Entertainment Lighting | Stage Lighting | Lighting Control Systems

At LDA, we study the impact of natural light on the project and address safety issues suchas glare, color confusion etc.

We attempt to enhance the user experience, by considering the aesthetics of the lighting equipment used. The selection of such equipment is in sympathy to the interior finishes applied and after assessment of what kind of emotions the lighting should evoke.

Having worked closely with project and maintenance engineers, we empathize the need for periodical maintenance and this is reflected in our equipment selection, which results in minimal and easy maintenance.

Finally, we work with the project managers and clients to ensure cost-effectiveness in the system.

Serv ices

Formula 1 to Fashion bars, taxiing aprons to temples, we’ve been involved in very challenging projects over the past years.

Vasundhara Sarovar Premiere, KeralaSet amidst the backwaters of Kerala, this 5-Star resort is operated by Sarovar Group. The Architecture and Interior Design breathe tradition and speak culture. It was critical to ensure that the lighting wasn’t too modern. So a careful permutation of electrical and oil-based temple lamps was made. Whilst the quaint view of the backwaters and the pleasant landscape provide a visual feast during day-time, it was important that lighting added life after sunset.

St. Joseph’s Church, AlwalThis 500 seat Catholic Church, is located in Hyderabad. Built entirely using funds of the local congregation, the challenge in this project was not only to get the lighting right, but to do so on a shoe-string budget. Carefully designed doors, windows and openings allowed daylight to subtly pour into the hall. The project was successfully completed and the cost of artificial lighting was mere INR 12000 (Approx. $250).
