Lighting Force was founded in 1999 by Ian Howard, to bring his unique vision to the lighting design profession. Ian had a belief that beautiful lighting can be achieved through simple means and that there is no more important tool in the designer’s box than light itself.

Established in Battle in South-East England, Lighting Force’s dedicated design team continues to realise and progress Ian’s vision. Over the years, an enviable clientele has been established in hospitality, residential, retail, public space and commercial environments and an impressive portfolio has been developed at home and abroad.

Lighting Force’s designers understand not only how to apply light, but the practical implications of integrating light sources into the subject. There is a strong ethos of teamwork, not only in-house, but in working with other project team members.

Lighting technology is always evolving. Lighting Force takes pride in being ahead of the curve in understanding how new tools enable new solutions to old problems.

The Lighting Force philosophy: Show the Subject, Hide the Source.
