Architectural Lighting Engineering

Stratus Ceilings delivers end-to-end design coordination and architectural lighting integration for stretch ceiling projects of any scale. Our in-house team collaborates directly with architects, interior designers, and electrical engineers to ensure every ceiling and lighting component is precisely planned, manufactured, and commissioned as a unified system.

Our Scope of Services

  • Lighting Layout Engineering — We develop detailed LED strip placement, recessed fixture mapping, and backlit panel configurations aligned with your design vision and architectural intent.
  • Photometric Analysis — Our team delivers comprehensive photometric studies to guarantee optimal light output, uniformity, and energy performance across every zone.
  • RCP & Drawing Coordination — We work directly from your reflected ceiling plans and construction documents to ensure fabrication accuracy and seamless field integration.
  • MEP & Electrical Alignment — We coordinate with your electrical contractors to synchronize ceiling systems with wiring routes, driver locations, and control infrastructure.
  • Bespoke Lighting Solutions — From dynamic color-tunable LEDs to large-format luminous ceilings, we engineer custom lighting effects tailored to your project requirements.

Building Automation Integration

Our architectural lighting systems are designed for full compatibility with today’s leading control platforms, giving building operators and end users complete command over their ceiling lighting environment:

  • Lutron — Caséta and RadioRA 3 dimming and scene management
  • Crestron — Enterprise-grade integration with Crestron building management systems
  • Control4 — Automated scene programming and whole-building lighting coordination
  • Savant — High-end residential and hospitality lighting and climate control
  • KNX — International building automation standard for commercial environments
  • Philips Hue — Color-tunable and dynamic white LED system integration
  • DMX / DALI — Industrial-grade lighting control protocols for large-scale commercial and public spaces

Regardless of whether your project requires basic dimming or a fully programmable lighting experience, Stratus ensures every system is engineered, wired, and configured to perform flawlessly with your specified control platform.

Lighting Technologies We Deploy

  • LED perimeter and cove strip lighting
  • Recessed downlights and adjustable spotlights
  • Backlit translucent membrane ceilings
  • RGB and tunable white LED arrays
  • Linear LED profiles and architectural channels
  • Intelligent lighting controls and dimming systems

The Stratus Advantage

A stretch ceiling without integrated lighting coordination is unrealized potential. Properly engineered lighting transforms a flat surface into an architectural statement — adding depth, atmosphere, and visual impact to any environment. At Stratus, we treat the ceiling and lighting as a single, integrated system — not two separate trades.
