ENLIGHTO · NEW DELHI

Architectural Lighting Consultancy

Start with what the space needs. Enlighto’s lighting consultancy supports a complete lighting solution, connecting the choice of downlights, spotlights, track and linear lighting or decorative pendants with the architecture, materials and people using the space.

Begin with the space, people and purpose

A lighting brief starts with how the room will be used: where people work, what they need to see, and what should feel quiet. Architecture, ceiling conditions, materials and budget shape the choices together. The aim is a useful balance of light, rather than a ceiling filled with fittings.

Enlighto’s approach follows eight steps: understand, research, curate, customise, optimise, integrate, deliver and support. Those steps connect the experience of a space with the technology and detail behind it.

Give each layer a job

For a home, consider the task as well as the surrounding room: reading, a work surface, a wall or a piece of art may need different attention. Hospitality spaces call for a balance between atmosphere, movement and practical use. In retail, the product, packaging, display and customer’s sightline need to be considered together.

These are starting points for a project discussion, not fixed lighting recipes. Fixture count, output and beam distribution follow the application. Review glare and sightlines alongside what the light reaches.

Choose with materials in view

Colour temperature alone cannot settle how stone, timber, fabric or merchandise will look. Compare proposed sources with the actual finishes and review them from useful positions. Colour rendition, consistency, shielding and mounting detail belong in the same conversation.

Where a standard fitting needs adapting, consider its proportions, finish, optics and available installation space together. A customised appearance still needs the right light distribution and control behaviour.

Coordinate the lighting with the wider team

Enlighto curates lighting and coordinates its requirements with the client’s automation vendor. The automation system itself is supplied by the responsible specialist. Agree the intended scenes and dimming behaviour early, then review the proposed light, driver and control combination.

Enlighto’s founder, Vikas Shelly, has worked in illumination since 2007. That experience informs a practical question throughout the process: where will a lighting decision make a difference to this project?

What to bring to the first discussion

Share the space or drawings, intended activities, ceiling and mounting constraints, material references and budget priorities. If automation is already planned, include the proposed system and the contact for its vendor. Identify any existing fixtures that should remain.

A clear brief helps separate an essential lighting requirement from a product preference. The next conversation can then focus on what needs to be revealed, what should remain quiet and which choices deserve closer sample review.

Read the light in the space.

Optics & distribution

A fixture’s form and its light distribution describe different things. Compare where the beam reaches with where people sit, stand and move. Review the intended task, the surrounding surfaces and the visible brightness of the fitting together.

Colour & material

Colour temperature describes the appearance of the light; colour rendition concerns how materials appear under it. Compare the proposed source with the actual finishes and at the dimming levels intended for the room.

Comfort in use

Look at the fitting from the positions people will occupy. Review the task surface, background and any reflections together. These observations help connect the fitting with the complete lighting solution.

Keep the fitting and its detail together.

Downlights & spotlights

A useful downlight or spotlight shortlist records the proposed fitting, optic, mounting detail and driver together. Compare the aperture, cut-out and ceiling clearance with the drawing, then review the beam and visible brightness from occupied positions. Keep the selected finish, colour specification and dimming combination with that record so later decisions refer to the same fitting.

Small aperture. Full mounting detail.

A compact ceiling opening still needs space behind it. One recessed mounting detail uses a 35 mm cut-out, a 70 mm flange and a 65 mm depth. We resolve the selected fitting, driver access and ceiling build-up together, before the aperture is repeated across a commercial space.

Track & linear lighting

Enlighto provides slim 48 V magnetic track solutions with spot and diffuse lighting modules. We resolve the track, power supply, fittings and intended dimming together for the selected combination.

Review the proposed track or linear arrangement as a complete system. Record the compatible fittings and connections, profile or track dimensions, mounting method, driver location and intended control behaviour. For suspended or joined sections, include the relevant drawing. Confirm these details against the selected system’s documentation before repeating the arrangement across the space.

From specification to the space.

One focused 48 V track-light example combines 10 W input with 900 lm output and a choice of 15°, 24° or 36° optics. A narrow beam can concentrate attention on a display; a wider beam can cover a broader subject. Mounting height, aiming and the surrounding light decide which is useful.

Colour options: 2700 K, 3000 K or 4000 K, with CRI ≥90 for this example. Compare the chosen white and rendering with the actual materials.
Control options: DALI-2, 0–10 V and Zigbee are specified options for the system. Resolve the exact driver, module and control combination together.
System fit: A 48 V rating alone does not establish interchangeability. Check the track profile, module interface, power supply and connections as one selected system.

Decorative & pendant lighting

Bring the pendant’s dimensions, suspension detail, finish and light distribution into the room’s material review. Consider its relationship to furniture and seated sightlines alongside the supporting task and accent lighting. Record the proposed source, driver and dimming arrangement with the approved photograph or drawing so the decorative choice stays connected to the lighting solution.
