Most churches were not initially constructed with the notion of having optimal lighting, despite the fact that they are frequently stunning architecturally. Although most of these structures now have some type of electrical illumination installed, many of these fixtures are antiquated or unsuitable for the job, ranging from systems that are too small for the size of the building or those that flood the church with light more appropriate for a commercial building.
The importance of installing the right lighting in a church setting could not be more important.
Effective lighting improves communication between the speaker and the audience, this contributes to the symbolic aspect of a church as a place of light and provides the kind of atmosphere that gives everyone a satisfying experience in addition to allowing the occupants to see and read clearly.
DNES collaborates with you and your building to guarantee that the interior lighting precisely satisfies your needs and compliments the design of the church.
We begin by establishing the different ways in which you may use the church. Next, we look at the building itself to determine how much existing natural light there is, what lighting systems are already in place, the architectural features of the church and any historic considerations.
We then design and install an interior lighting system that best suits all these aspects.
For most church installations we recommend a LED lighting system. LED is unquestionably the most affordable, controlled, environmentally friendly, and maintenance-free alternative for most church installations. The typical lifespan of an LED luminaire is 50,000 hours! That’s 48 years, assuming a weekly usage of 20 hours.
Whether you are looking to improve an existing system or have a completely new system installed, we’ll use our knowledge and expertise to ensure all work is conducted with the utmost of respect for the church and the people who use it. We always aim to minimise disruption, maintain a responsible approach to our work and ensure the installation has no adverse effects to the appearance of the church.
Your church is an important part of the heritage and life of your local community. We aim to ensure your lighting solution supports and enhances that.
