Tom Dixon specification services

Good decorative lighting depends on more than a compelling object. Our project workflow helps architects, interior designers, consultants, dealers and contractors connect visual intent with photometric evidence, electrical coordination and an achievable installation sequence.

Lighting consultant reviewing reflected ceiling plan

Specialist support at each decision point

Application review

We read the room as a system: task planes, circulation, focal objects, surface reflectance and the desired hierarchy of light. The result is a concise selection rationale instead of a catalogue dump.

Optical documentation

Available IES or LDT files, beam information and colour specifications are organized for design review. Where decorative geometry affects interpretation, the limitations and assumptions are stated plainly.

Controls coordination

Driver type, dimming protocol, minimum load, circuiting and scene intent are checked early. This reduces late substitutions that can compromise fade quality, colour consistency or maintenance access.

A four-stage technical dialogue

  1. 1

    Brief

    Send drawings, schedules, material cues, budget parameters and the required atmosphere.

  2. 2

    Review

    We identify optical, mounting, electrical and compliance questions before selection hardens.

  3. 3

    Coordinate

    Teams reconcile fixture, driver, controls, ceiling interface, lead time and access requirements.

  4. 4

    Handover

    Final references support aiming, scene setting, cleaning and future component decisions.

Documents with a purpose

Resource packages should answer a live project question. We can help organize photometric files, product dimensions, finish references, installation information and control notes around the design stage. Files are version-identified so that the consultant, purchasing team and installer are discussing the same basis.

Certification marks such as UL, CE or RoHS are referenced only where declared for the relevant configuration and market. A family-level statement is never treated as automatic proof for every option.

Design development set

Photometry, preliminary selection notes and dimensional coordination for evaluation.

Procurement clarification set

Finish, driver, control and ordering assumptions prepared for commercial comparison.

Installation handover set

Mounting, access and commissioning references aligned with the accepted schedule.
