Why “Value-Engineered Lighting Layouts” Beat Standard Photometric Plans

Let’s call it like it is — most photometric layouts? They’re just digital light maps. Maybe they get the job done. Maybe they don’t.

But when you work with our Application Engineers, you get more than a basic layout. You get a Value-Engineered Lighting Design — one that saves you money up front, cuts waste, meets code, and gives your customer the right light, right where it’s needed.

Here’s what that really means for your next project.

What Is Value-Engineered Lighting?

Value engineering is about smarter lighting — not just brighter lighting.

We take your project goals, site plans, and use cases, and then:

Cut unnecessary wattage
Dial in exactly the right light levels for the task
Avoid over-lighting, under-lighting, and overspending

It’s designed to help you win the job with a sharper bid — and deliver long-term savings your customer will actually notice.

Get Lighting That Works — Not Just “Looks Good on Paper”

Our team doesn’t just run software and send you a PDF. We work with you to understand:

The tasks being done in the space
The layout of equipment, traffic, or work zones
Safety and code requirements
Where you can save, and where you shouldn’t cut corners

The result? A tailored layout plan that:

Can be submitted for permitting
Meets national lighting recommendations
Helps you quote confidently — and competitively
Delivers real ROI, especially if you’re replacing older HID or LED setups

Exterior Applications: Door-to-Door Coverage, Done Right

Whatever your outdoor needs, we’ve got the fixtures — and the plan — to make it work:

Security & Pathways: Wall Packs, Bollards
Parking Lots: Area Lights, Wall Packs, Bollards
Private Drives & Roadways: Residential-style Street lighting

Want to eliminate dark spots and boost security? We’ll show you how — without overspending on oversized fixtures.

Interior Applications: Clean, Task-Ready Illumination

Every indoor environment has its own challenges — from high ceilings and racking in warehouses to uniformity in offices and retail. Our Value-Engineered Layouts cover:

Industrial & Warehouses
Distribution Centers
Commercial/Office
Retail Spaces

We build your layout around the work being done. That means no wasted light, no overkill, and no surprises down the line.

Built-In Controls & Emergency Planning

Smart controls and emergency lighting aren’t afterthoughts — they’re part of our design process.

Programmable Sensors: Up to 49’ coverage with easy remote tweaks
Emergency/Egress: Layouts ensure you’re covered in any scenario

>eed to meet energy codes or explain ROI to a customer? We’ve got that baked in, too.

Better for You. Better for Your Customer.

This isn’t just about light levels. It’s about the whole experience:

Faster Permitting
Cleaner Installs
Lower Utility Bills
Quicker Payback (as fast as 2 years)

And we’ll even help you run the numbers to prove it.
