PEMBA Lighting & Automation

By Webster’s definition: Light is the electromagnetic radiation that has wavelength in the range from about 3,900 to about 7,700 angstroms and that may be perceived by the unaided, normal human eye.  Brightness is the eye’s perception of the electromagnetic radiation.  Light is a source of illumination. 

 

Either definition implies the scientific production of light as well as the human perception of light.

 

Lighting design is the application of quantity and type of light to ones home or office.   Lighting design should be used to illuminate and enhance space.  Light itself is important but the effects of light are of greater importance.

Lighting Control is the automation of light to create a variety of light levels and scenes to provide the greatest flexibility and therefore maximize the value of the investment in home or office environment.

PEMBA combines knowledge of electrical components and fixtures, lamp technology, construction, interior design, lighting control, flow theory and optimization to develop a lighting design which enhances your home or office, and matches the lifestyle and personality of the owner or resident.

 

Each home or office is different.  PEMBA strives to enhance architectural and decorative features as well as ensure that the quantity and quality of light meet the needs of the occupants.

The lighting design process begins by meeting with you the customer and identifying the theme for the entire site and each area.   We strive to enhance those unique features you are trying to achieve by taking on your construction or renovation project.  

PEMBA converts your preferences and requirements as well as the physical aspects of the building structure into a lighting plan.  We provide you a list of fixtures, cut sheets, a detailed list of fixtures for each room and a digitized plan for your records.   We will add the lighting plan layer to your electronic plans if they are available.  

For all lighting designs PEMBA prefers to also provide the fixtures.  This is not in any way a requirement.  The level of PEMBA design support remains no matter the source of materials.  However, it is our experience that because of lack of understanding other suppliers may substitute fixtures and lamps and affect the overall quality of the design.  

If you utilize PEMBA for your lighting design, PEMBA will provide you the fixtures at the limited agreed upon markup from the manufacturer’s prices.   We want our work to SHINE and we want you to be pleased with the end product.

For large areas, PEMBA recommends the use of a lighting control system.   The system provides the greatest flexibility without the need to have unsightly switches all over your walls.
