Lighting does more than just provide visibility; it shapes the atmosphere and enhances the functionality of our surroundings. What could be a dimly lit silhouette is brought to life through the careful planning of architectural lighting. Taking for example the image below, the intricate warm glow of the lights elevates each architectural feature, making it a view to admire, not only in the light of day for its craftsmanship but equally at night for its enchanting imagery.


With lighting playing such a powerful aspect of a building's visual appeal, we are excited to announce our newly appointed Commercial & Industrial Lighting Manager, Micheal Constantinou. With over three decades in the lighting industry spanning across sectors like stage and architectural lighting, office environments, industrial sites, educational facilities, retail spaces, hospitality venues, and sports arenas, his extensive experience demonstrates how expert lighting can transform our experiences in these settings.
His impressive portfolio features premier lighting and emergency solutions for iconic establishments such as Harrods, Selfridges, and Westminster Estates—from the grandeur of Buckingham Palace to the House of Commons.
His work at the iconic Harrods department store in London involved the installation of thousands of bulbs, outlining the building and creating its iconic aesthetics that draw in millions of shoppers per year and maintain its prominent feature in touristic photos.
Additionally, his influence extends to major media outlets like the BBC and Sky News, where he has improved studio lighting to enhance broadcast quality and viewer engagement.
A significant aspect of Mike's approach involves understanding the potential of upgrading to LED lighting. Statistics show that transitioning to LEDs can lead to energy savings of up to 70% and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 1,000 kg per year for a typical commercial building. By helping clients grasp these benefits, Mike supports a shift towards environmentally friendly lighting solutions while ensuring that they realise long-term financial savings.
As part of his role with B-engineering, Mike will be providing complimentary lighting surveying, along with a detailed report outlining current lighting conditions to our clients. This report includes specific recommendations for upgrades and highlights possible energy savings and reductions in COâ‚‚ emissions.
One area of focus is illustrating the ROI (Return on Investment) and TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) associated with these upgrades. By presenting data and forecasts, clients can better visualise the tangible benefits of modernising their lighting systems.
Transitioning to LED lighting is not merely about aesthetics; it is fundamentally about sustainability. Micheal's profound understanding of energy-efficient lighting solutions is evident in all his projects. Switching to premium LED lighting can deliver energy savings of up to 80% compared to traditional lighting options.
Through custom solutions, in-depth consultations, and a focus on sustainability, Mike ensures that spaces are not only illuminated but transformed into environments that inspire and function better. As we move toward a future that values innovation and environmental responsibility, Mike is at the forefront, offering unmatched expertise and a vision that enhances both our physical spaces and our experiences within them.
