Thomas Crowley Lighting Designer
Florida Lighting Designer Thomas Crowley will create the perfect LED Lighting Design for your project. He says, “The key to superb outdoor lighting is to hide the light source. Lighting is all about the effect and it definitely influences our mood. If a house is dark and gloomy at night, it has a powerful negative impact on us. Conversely, a well-lit home elevates and inspires us.”
Tom is an artist who paints with light. When working with clients, he creates the design concept for a layered lighting look that blends a variety of illumination types.
These layers can include:
- General Area Lighting: The overall illumination of entrances, pool decks and landscapes.
- Task Lighting: Achieved with pathway fixtures, fountain, or garden art lighting.
- Accent Lighting: Can include indirect wall washes that throw a diffused light upward without causing glares or shadows.
When Tom first starts up a project, he considers numerous factors such as the street view, interior angles, 2nd-floor viewing angles, architectural details, variety of foliage, and open spaces. All of these elements are paramount to the design he will end up creating.
As LED technology continually evolves, Tom and his staff make sure to stay educated and up-to-date in order to ensure your outdoor LED system is state-of-the-art. With the ever-increasing number of fixtures and bulbs currently on the market, Tom works with each client to help them through the daunting task of choosing the right fixture and bulb type, size, brilliance and color temperature—all of which are essential for creating picture-perfect lighting conditions.
Not only does Tom design the systems, but he also oversees the installations to ensure every fixture is perfectly and correctly positioned.
Additionally, he works with a variety of landscape architects, general contractors, interior and exterior designers, all from the beginning concepts to the final installation. Tom knows how to keep a project on budget while still providing a superior lighting design.
