Religious Buildings

The lighting in your church, synagogue, mosque or other religious building must of course provide adequate illumination for all those who visit, but it should also complement the magnificent architecture of your place of worship. Sweeping arches, intricately carved pillars and towering stained glass windows can be made to feel awe-inspiring or calm and tranquil, depending on the emotions you are looking to evoke with your lighting design. Whether your place of worship has a traditional or contemporary feel to it, you can enhance or literally transform the space with a well-considered lighting design.

The lighting design in your place of worship should consider the many and varied ways in
which your church or other religious venue is used: as a calming place of meditation; as a venue for traditional services and religious festivals; to host weddings and funerals, and to present musical and theatrical events. Your lighting design will, most likely, need to allow for comfortable reading; fixed or controllable punctuations of light to draw the eye to a speaker, the bride, or the historical architecture; and set the mood for any conceivable special
occasion.

With the right care and emphasis, the light in your church or other religious building can not only be used to focus attention but also to create an atmosphere of wonder and majesty.
