LED lighting
Light built into the furniture, not added afterwards.
We design LED lighting as part of the joinery drawing set — profiles routed into walnut, drivers placed where they can be serviced, and every circuit dimmable. The result is light you notice as atmosphere, never as a fitting.
In motion
Light as atmosphere, not as a fitting.
Cove, under-shelf and plinth lighting moving through a walnut interior at dusk — warm 2700K, dimmed, with every source hidden in the joinery.
The aesthetic case
Good LED work is invisible. Light grazes a surface, lifts a ceiling, or floats a shelf — and the source stays out of sight. Warm colour temperature and a high colour rendering index keep walnut, brass, stone and fabric looking the way they did in the showroom.
- Cove and perimeter light to raise a low ceiling and soften a room at night
- Grazing light down slatted or fluted timber to reveal the grain and texture
- Floating plinths, shelves and headboards lit from beneath so joinery reads lighter
- 2700K–3000K warm white indoors, CRI 90+ so timber and fabric keep their true colour
- One dim-to-warm scene for evenings, a brighter neutral scene for daytime work
The practical case
Lighting is also the part of a fit-out most likely to be regretted. We plan switching, sensors and access before the cabinetry is cut, so nothing has to be unscrewed later to change a driver.
- Task light exactly where you work: under wall cabinets, over a worktop, at a desk edge
- PIR or door-contact sensors in wardrobes, pantries and drawers — light only when open
- Circadian control: cooler and brighter in the morning, warmer and lower after dinner
- Low-voltage 24V runs with correctly sized drivers, mounted in an accessible service panel
- Outdoor and terrace runs at IP65 or better, with marine-grade fixings and UV-stable cable
- Roughly 80–90% less energy than halogen, with a 30,000–50,000 hour service life

Where we use it
Kitchens
Under-cabinet task strips, lit open shelving, plinth wash and a dimmable pendant circuit over the island.
Wardrobes and dressing rooms
Rail-mounted strips, sensor-triggered shelf lighting and a mirror with even, shadow-free front light.
Living and media walls
Grazing light on slatted timber, backlit niches and a low plinth glow for evening viewing.
Bedrooms
Floating headboard glow, reading strips inside side tables, and a very low night circuit at skirting level.
Stairs and circulation
Recessed step or handrail light on a timer or sensor — safe at night without lighting the whole house.
Terraces and gardens
IP65 linear light under bench seats and planter edges, warm and glare-free for outdoor dining.
