Lighting and Motion System Design & Engineering

Custom Lighting Solutions from Concept to Implementation

At Tamis Visual Designs, we design and engineer custom lighting systems for architectural, artistic, commercial, and experiential applications.

Our approach combines creative intent with technical rigor — delivering lighting solutions that are visually compelling, reliable, and purpose-built for real-world environments.

Lighting Design & Engineering Services

We provide end-to-end lighting system development, tailored to each project’s goals, constraints, and environment.

• Lighting concept development
• System architecture and layout
• Fixture and component selection
• Custom luminaire and housing design
• Electrical and thermal considerations
• Controls, dimming, and automation integration

Custom Lighting Systems

When off-the-shelf solutions don’t meet the project requirements, we design fully custom lighting systems — from individual fixtures to integrated multi-zone installations.

• LED-based systems
• Dynamic and programmable lighting
• Low-voltage and custom power solutions
• Integrated mounting and enclosures
• Modular and scalable designs

Systems are engineered for performance, serviceability, and long-term reliability.

Prototyping & Testing

Prototyping and validation are essential to successful lighting design. We develop prototypes to evaluate:

• Light output, distribution, and color quality
• Thermal management and heat dissipation
• Electrical performance and safety
• Physical integration and mounting
• Control behavior and user interaction

Iterative testing ensures the final system performs as intended in its operating environment.

Applications

• Architectural and interior lighting
• Art installations and exhibitions
• Custom signage and displays
• Experiential and interactive environments
• Retail, hospitality, and commercial spaces
• Specialty and one-off installations

Integration & Fabrication

Lighting systems are often part of a larger fabricated assembly. We design lighting with full awareness of fabrication, installation, and long-term maintenance.

• Coordination with metal, acrylic, and composite fabrication
• Custom housings, brackets, and mounts
• Weather-resistant and environment-specific designs
• Serviceability and access planning

Our Approach

• Design-led engineering
• Collaborative project development
• Attention to detail at every scale
• Clear documentation and communication
• Solutions tailored to each project

We work closely with clients, designers, and fabricators to ensure lighting systems integrate seamlessly into the final build.

Engagement & Pricing

Lighting design and engineering services are scoped based on project complexity, system requirements, and level of development.

• Concept and feasibility studies
• Prototype-based development phases
• Fixed-scope or time-based engagements

Each project begins with a clear definition of scope and deliverables.
