What are LED lighting design and specification services?

LED design and LED lighting design and specification services define fixture layouts, performance criteria, lighting controls, and documentation that supports compliant, buildable lighting systems for construction projects and operational facilities.

What is Design Assist in lighting projects?

Design Assist is a collaborative approach where lighting specialists support architects, engineers, developers, design-build contractors, and owners/operators with technical input, product evaluation, and constructability insight during lighting design development.

How does Stouch Lighting support architects and engineers during lighting design?

We support architects and engineers with Design Assist by translating architectural intent and engineering requirements into specification-ready documentation—including layout coordination, fixture evaluation, controls strategies, and Division 26 alignment—so the lighting system is compliant, buildable, and ready for submittals.

When should a lighting designer or Design Assist partner be engaged?

Engage a lighting designer or Design Assist partner early—during the LED design phase—to align performance goals, energy code compliance, and project budgets before drawings are finalized and procurement decisions are locked in.

Our support typically includes technical fixture evaluation, Basis of Design (BOD) alignment, lighting layout development, review of Reflected Ceiling Plans (RCPs), and controls strategy coordination to help ensure lighting systems are coordinated, compliant, and buildable.

What documentation is typically included in lighting specification support?

Documentation may include lighting plans/layouts, RCPs, fixture schedules, BOD selections, and controls intent/narratives (including control narratives when required), depending on scope and project phase.

How does Stouch Lighting support Lighting Package Submittals?

We provide specification-ready documentation—including fixture schedules, required cut sheets, and controls intent/narratives—to help ensure Lighting Package Submittals are accurate, coordinated, and aligned with Division 26 specifications, reducing RFIs and revisions during construction.

What role do lighting controls play in lighting design and specification?

Lighting controls support energy efficiency, operational flexibility, and code compliance through zoning, scheduling, dimming, occupancy sensing, and daylighting strategies.

How does lighting design support energy codes and standards?

Lighting design supports energy code compliance by aligning lighting power targets, required controls functionality, and documented performance criteria with project requirements.

How do you support design-build contractors with lighting layouts?

We support design-build teams with responsive lighting layout development, fixture strategy decisions, and lighting controls coordination to keep lighting selections construction-ready and aligned with schedule requirements.

Can you support building owners/operators during lighting design and specification?

Yes. We help owners/operators align lighting performance and controls strategies with operational priorities, maintenance expectations, and long-term usability—while keeping the system clear and implementable for the project team.

Can you help building owners identify lighting rebates and incentives?

Yes—when applicable, we can help identify potential utility lighting rebates and lighting incentives related to fixture and controls selections and clarify typical documentation requirements. Eligibility and program rules vary by utility and jurisdiction, so rebates are not guaranteed.
