Lighting Drawings

A lighting consultancy commissioned me to create a set of technical illustrations to communicate lighting scenarios to their clients — covering 3D room setups, outdoor environments, and 2D room plans. The drawings had to be clear, precise, and visually cohesive across all product families.

The client provided hand-drawn sketches and reference images to communicate the lighting scenarios they needed illustrated. Each sketch conveyed a spatial context, a set of light sources, and a mood — from quiet residential interiors to outdoor urban scenes and clean 2D technical floor plans. These references became the brief.

I explored multiple visual styles for each of the three drawing types: 3D room interiors, outdoor scenes, and 2D floor plans, varying line weight, shading, abstraction level, and luminaire representation, and presented them to the client. For each category, one style was selected and refined through direct feedback rounds.

01 Style Exploration — multiple visual approaches for 3D interiors, outdoor scenes, and 2D floor plans. 02 Client Selection — the client selected and refined one style per category. 03 Style Guide — the approved visual language became the template for the full ~40-drawing set.

With the visual language locked in per category, I produced the full set of drawings, each one incorporating the client's corrections and adjustments from the approval round. Precision and consistency across the set were the priorities: every illustration needed to communicate the lighting behaviour accurately enough to support real design decisions.

A complete library of ~40 technical lighting drawings, all sharing a consistent visual identity agreed with the client and refined through direct feedback. Each drawing communicates luminaire behaviour clearly, helping the consultancy present lighting decisions before installation.
