HDLS Lighting Ltd offers a consultative specification process for luxury and architectural lighting, supporting private clients and design professionals from selection through to production and delivery. Each piece is specified with clarity, technical oversight, and long-term architectural intent.
A considered approach to architectural lighting
At HDLS Lighting Ltd, specification is not a transaction — it is a process of alignment between architecture, proportion, material integrity, and long-term presence.
Whether selecting a statement chandelier for a private residence or specifying lighting for a large-scale architectural project, our role is to guide each decision with clarity, restraint, and technical understanding.
This page explains how lighting is specified with HDLS — and what you can expect at every stage.
This process supports both private clients and professional design teams worldwide.
Who This Process Is For
Our specification process is designed for clients who value considered decision-making and enduring quality.
HDLS regularly works with:
Homeowners furnishing primary residences and landmark homes
Interior designers and architects specifying decorative and architectural lighting
Developers and hospitality groups delivering high-end residential and commercial projects
If your project requires proportion, performance, and refinement, this process is designed for that purpose.
The HDLS Specification Philosophy
Lighting is never an isolated object.
Every HDLS piece is considered within its architectural context — ceiling height, spatial volume, material palette, and the way light is experienced over time.
Our approach prioritises:
Appropriateness over trend
Proportion over excess
Permanence over novelty
This ensures that each piece performs visually and technically for decades, not seasons.
How to Specify Lighting with HDLS
1. Define the Application
We begin by understanding the space.
This includes:
Ceiling height and volume
Room function and circulation
Desired presence — focal or architectural
Residential or commercial context
This step ensures the selected piece is suitable in scale and intent.
2. Select Size, Finish, and Configuration
Many HDLS designs allow for adjustment in:
Dimensions
Suspension length
Finishes
Crystal or material configuration
We advise on proportions that suit the architecture, not just the product.
3. Consultation with an HDLS Lighting Specialist
A dedicated lighting consultant reviews your requirements and confirms:
Technical suitability
Electrical compatibility (UK, EU, USA, Middle East)
Lead time and production considerations
Installation requirements
This step removes uncertainty before commitment.
4. Specification Confirmation & Lead Time
You receive a clear specification outlining:
Final dimensions and configuration
Finish and material details
Production timeline
Delivery method and handling
Only once everything is aligned do we proceed to production.
5. Production & Insured International Delivery
Each piece is crafted to order and delivered with care.
Fully insured international delivery
Duties and customs managed
Suitable for installations across the UK, Europe, the United States, and the Middle East
