LUCI/PLDA Service

You are a town or a city and you need advice and orientation towards pertinent lighting professionals for a Lighting Plan or project?

LUCI’s central administration office in Lyon will study member cities’ requests for lighting design consultation with the PLDA Head Office. After careful consideration and analysis of the request, PLDA will provide LUCI with the contact details of appropriate professional lighting designers (by geographical location and/or experience).

The service described above is provided free-of-charge as a LUCI membership benefit. Resulting contracts, agreements or commission are handled directly between the municipalities and the lighting designers.

To access this service please send an e-mail to luci@luciassociation.org

What is PLDA?

The Professional Lighting Designers’ Association, PLDA is a voluntary federation of lighting designers and lighting consultants who are active on an international scale, their purpose being to increase the reputation of the profession and to establish the profession as such in its own right, and to promote good lighting design in the interest of the client, the architectural space and, above all, the users.

PLDA-format lighting workshops are a highly visible way of demonstrating how intelligently applied light can enhance spaces, and what emotional and physiological effect this has on human beings. Lighting workshops can be staged in a town or part of a city. The resulting installations can be used to demonstrate lighting solutions and as a subject for debate among lighting designers, urban planners and decision-makers at local government level.

PLDA members can also provide services for permanent lighting design solutions in the following areas:

  • Development of a Lighting Master Plan / Coordination of all the following
  • Lighting design concepts for significant buildings and/or structures (historical buildings, heritage sites, monuments, bridges…)
  • Landscape lighting projects
  • Lighting in/around water
  • Lighting for roads, urban squares, and public open spaces
  • Environmental lighting and “green” systems
