onlight is an innovative lighting design, visualization and BIM content creation company capable of working on a wide variety of projects and customer types. Click the services below for more information…
As BIM (Building Information Modeling) becomes more prominent in the construction industry it is key lighting suppliers to have products available as BIM families. Onlight offer the service to develop Revit families for lighting products and ensure these families are in line with local BIM standards.
As a service provider in the area of lighting and visualization onlight have partnered with Migenius who offer a unique rendering tool for Sketchup. Using the power of the cloud, Bloom Unit allows detailed and physically accurate rendering to take place real time in front of the designer and the client at the same time across different devices. Bloom Unit also allows unique collaborative input across the world on a single project speeding up the work flow and sign off process.
Members of the onlight team have experience and desire to produce photo-real renderings of architectural spaces based on real-world lighting and material finish. The goal for onlight is to produce physically accurate visualisations of your projects or products. Working with the latest rendering engine from migenius, onlight promise to turn around 3D renders quicker than most traditional visualizers.
There are various ways we can help visualize your project or product as a photo realistic image. If you have a need to create and present your ideas, schemes or project into a photo real 3D representation that clients can understand, see the processes and methods which may suite your requirements…
Visual light simulations ideally suited to assess light performance in space or for specific product type
Working with any available plan drawings, a 3D model can be built ground up. Ideally, we would be provided with scaled CAD drawings in any typical software format such as .dwg .dxf. However, if these are not available, we can accept .pdf with scale indicated.
In addition to material, our key process to creating physically accurate rendering is to ensure the lighting is based on simulations on real-world lighting products and light behaviour for both Daylight and artificial sources. Using the simulation tools available to us we will analyse the lighting levels, colour temperature properties and if the application is suitable for the particular scene. This calls upon onlight’s vast experience and knowledge in the field of lighting design.
Not only can we produce light in abundance but we can control light to create and change the perception of space. Control and quality of light are key to making sure we apply light appropriately for the desired outcome and best effect.
Recent studies and research have shown living with traditional artificial light and indoors alone is not healthy, we have now a better understanding of our connection and dependency to natural light for healthy living and development. Biologically we are evolved to depend on the sun and sky while preserving the needs and association with fire for certain times of the day and purposes. Up until now, the artificial light we have has been living with is the derivative of fire, new technologies and understanding are changing this for the better.
Working with onlight we will deliver lighting schemes that bring the lessons learnt from nature and recent studies to create spaces that are comfortably habitable, healthy and stimulating whilst maintaining energy efficiency and reduced light pollution.
