Architectural Lighting Design

At JMPE, we believe lighting is the intersection of high-level engineering and art. Our Architectural Lighting Design services go beyond simple illumination, we create sophisticated environments that enhance the aesthetic appeal and functional value of every space we touch.

From vibrant retail storefronts and productive office environments to serene private residences and safe, inviting schools, we design lighting systems that are as beautiful as they are energy-efficient.

The JMPE Lighting Philosophy

Aesthetic Intent: We work closely with architects and interior designers to ensure our lighting layouts complement the structural vision of the building.

Photometric Analysis: We use advanced modeling software to provide accurate light-level predictions (footcandles), ensuring there are no "dark spots" or "hot spots" before a single fixture is installed.

Title 24 Expertise: As specialists in California energy code, every one of our designs is engineered to meet or exceed Title 24 compliance without sacrificing style.
