VECTOR LIGHTING DESIGN, LLC
We illuminate environments to help people thrive. Light fills our world and envelops everyone, day and night, affecting not only our vision and tasks, but also our awareness, communication, mood, biological rhythms and overall health. It is our mission to make healthy, beautiful lighting accessible to all.
We collaborate with building, exhibit and landscape design teams to illuminate environments that use resources responsibly, tell a compelling story and enhance the most human moments of our lives. For projects that do not require full lighting design services, we offer a range of consulting services to support the work of architects, engineers and designers.
Keeping in mind the profound effect that views of the outdoors and connection to nature have on our bodies and minds, our lighting techniques strive to incorporate daylight and biophilic principles whenever possible. While uniform light levels are locally important for safe and effective task completion, we understand that shadow, contrast and accenting are necessary in a space to refresh the mind, maintain attention and promote mental agility.
​
People in all environments deserve illumination that supports their mindset, wellbeing and growth as well as the pragmatic tasks at hand. It is our joy to provide this illumination by using light to celebrate the spaces we create with our clients.
