Experiential
Design

Lighting that becomes the experience — large-scale installations, public art, brand activations, and light festivals built to stop people in their tracks.

Experiential Lighting Installations

Each project is a one-of-a-kind build. The technology is a tool — the result is an experience people remember and share.

What Makes an Experiential Lighting Build Different

Experiential installations aren't commercial lighting projects with bigger budgets. They're a fundamentally different kind of build — the technology has to perform for an audience, not just illuminate a space.

That means outdoor exposure, crowds, weather, one-night installations, multi-week runs, and the expectation that it will look extraordinary in a photograph. We've done all of it.

Outdoor & Weather Rated
We spec IP-rated systems for outdoor installations and build connection protection into every exterior build.
One-Night to Permanent
Single-event activations through permanent public art installations — we've built both and the approach is different for each.
Designed for the Camera
Experiential installations live or die on photography. We think about how the lighting reads on a phone screen, not just in person.
Collaborator, Not Vendor
We work with artists, fabricators, event producers, and agencies. We're not the last call — we're part of the design conversation from the start.

Experiential Lighting Applications

The builds we do in this vertical cover a wide range of formats, clients, and timelines.

🗿
Public Art & Sculpture
Permanent and temporary public art installations incorporating lighting as a structural element — not an afterthought. We've worked with sculptors and fabricators on city-commissioned works.
🎪
Brand Activations
Short-run experiential builds for product launches, brand events, and marketing activations. Designed to be shareable, photogenic, and on-brand.
🌟
Light Festivals
Multi-piece installations for curated light festivals. We've built everything from single sculptures to multi-installation contributions for outdoor events.
🏛️
Museum & Cultural
Lighting for museum exhibits, cultural institutions, and interpretive installations. We understand the conservation and accessibility requirements of cultural spaces.
🌆
Urban & Civic Spaces
Public plazas, civic buildings, parks, and transit spaces. We've delivered permanent lighting installations for city-owned properties working directly with municipal clients and their contractors.
🎬
Film & Media Sets
Set lighting and prop lighting for film, television, and media productions. We can move fast when production schedules demand it.

Have an Experiential Lighting Concept?

Bring us in early. The best experiential lighting builds happen when we're part of the design conversation, not the last vendor called.
