Spatial Illumination Consultancy
Led by specialist Dany Gomez, we deliver technical lighting layout design and optical audits for art galleries, drafting offices, and boutique lobbies. We calculate precise lumen distributions, test non-flicker LED spectrums, and position indirect fixtures to eliminate reflective glare on technical display surfaces.
Lumen Distribution
Precise light spread across walls, desks, and display surfaces.
Non-Flicker LED Testing
Spectrum analysis for stable, eye-friendly illumination.
Glare Positioning
Indirect fixture placement to remove reflective hotspots.
Recent calibration for a private gallery in Madrid cut reflected glare by 40 percent while holding a steady 200-lux accent level.
Selected Projects
A look at how we approach photometric analysis, fixture placement, and glare control in real spaces. Each project below covers a different part of the workflow, from client intake to final measurement.
Project 01
A concrete project with a clear subject and real-world context.
This page frames a concrete subject instead of using a generic heading. It explains what is being considered, why it matters in the site's context, and what detail a reader can expect next. The copy is intentionally plain and specific, so it reads like a real content item.
View project detailsProject 02
A focused project built around practical decisions and constraints.
This item focuses on practical use, tradeoffs, and decisions that a reader may recognize. It avoids broad promotional claims and keeps the topic tied to a clear situation. The description gives enough substance for a real page rather than a placeholder card.
View project detailsProject 03
A grounded project that adds a different angle without repeating the others.
This page gives the third item its own reason to exist. It covers a separate angle, includes concrete context, and avoids repeating the same promise in different words. The result should feel like a planned article, project, review, or offer.

We focus on the technical side of illumination: lumen distribution, spectrum stability, and glare control. Here is what that means for your space.
We calculate precise light levels for gallery walls and drafting tables, eliminating hot spots and dark corners. Your surfaces read consistently, without constant re-aiming.
We test and specify drivers that keep flicker below visible thresholds. This reduces eye strain during long hours of detailed work, especially in drafting and CAD environments.
By positioning indirect fixtures and adjusting beam angles, we cut reflective glare on glass, varnished art, and polished floors. Your space feels comfortable, not harsh.
We measure luminance at eye level, not just on paper. This means we catch the reflections that standard calculations miss, and we adjust the layout to your actual room geometry.
We place indirect lighting to bounce light off ceilings and walls, avoiding direct glare on screens and glossy surfaces. The result is a softer, more even ambient light.
We verify CRI and color temperature before installation, so artwork and technical drawings show true colors. No more guessing whether a 3000K or 4000K source fits your space.
Client Feedback
Photometric audits and lighting layouts are only as good as the people who use the space daily. Here is how our clients describe the difference.
"We had uneven pools of light on our varnished paintings for years. Dany's team reworked the track heads and tuned the beam angles so the walls read at a consistent 200 lux. The glare on the glass frames is gone, and the colors finally look the way the artist intended."
Elena Marchetti
Curator, Contemporanea Gallery
"Our drafting room had a constant flicker that nobody could pinpoint until the audit. They swapped the panels for high-frequency drivers and repositioned the task lights at a 30-degree angle. Eye strain complaints dropped noticeably within two weeks."
Marcus Feld
Principal Architect, Feld & Partners
"The marble floor in our lobby reflected every ceiling spot like a mirror. After the glare audit, they introduced cove lighting and low-glare downlights. The luminance ratio went from 20:1 down to 8:1. Guests now describe the space as warm instead of harsh."

Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about lumen calculations, glare reduction, and non-flicker LED spectrums for galleries, drafting offices, and boutique lobbies.
We use a luminance meter to take readings at eye level across the space. For gallery walls and polished floors, we look for a maximum luminance ratio above 10:1. If we find hotspots above that, we adjust the beam angle or switch to indirect fixtures. In a recent lobby audit, we cut the ratio from 20:1 to 8:1 by replacing ceiling spots with wall washers and cove lighting.
It means the driver runs at a high frequency, usually above 3 kHz, so the light output is steady and doesn't cause eye strain. For drafting offices, we test panels with a photometric sensor to confirm there's no visible flicker at any dimming level. We also check the color rendering index (CRI) — we aim for 95 or higher for precision work.
Often we can keep the existing housing. For a gallery project, we swapped out halogen track heads for adjustable LED spotlights with a 3000K spectrum and CRI 95. We then used photometric software to simulate the lumen distribution and tuned the beam angles. The client kept the track, but the light quality changed completely.
We start with a walkthrough to identify problem areas, then take luminance measurements at eye level. After that, we propose a mix of indirect cove lighting and low-glare downlights. For a boutique lobby, we replaced a series of ceiling spots with wall washers and floor lamps. The whole process usually takes one to two days on site, plus a report with recommendations.
Yes, that's a core part of our work. We calculate precise lumen levels for accent and ambient light, aiming for a 3:1 contrast ratio between the artwork and the surrounding wall. We also test the spectrum to ensure colors render accurately. In a recent project, we achieved a consistent 200-lux accent level without washing out the paintings.
We specify dimmable drivers that work with standard 0-10V or DALI controls. For galleries, we set up presets so the curator can shift the mood for evening events without losing the calibrated balance. We also test the dimming curve to make sure there's no flicker at low levels.
