Integrated interior lighting for hospitality, commercial, residential, retail, workplace and cultural environments.
Architectural Lighting Design
Light, shaped with purpose.
HALO Design Collective FZE LLC is an independent lighting design consultancy creating expressive, technically rigorous and sustainable environments across architecture, landscape, hospitality, public realm and culture.
Who we are
A collective built around the transformative power of light.
Our work combines design intuition with measurable performance. We collaborate with architects, interior designers, landscape architects, engineers, developers and operators from the earliest concept through construction, aiming for solutions that feel effortless while remaining buildable, maintainable and energy conscious.
14+Years of global lighting experience
1,000+Projects and studies delivered through the wider practice legacy
5Core design disciplines
UAEBased, globally connected
Legacy projects shown in this portfolio include work undertaken under Lighting Designers India (LDI) and previous professional appointments. HALO Design Collective FZE LLC continues this expertise under its new UAE identity.
What we do
From first sketch to final focus.
We provide complete lighting design services, including concept development, simulations, documentation, controls strategy, technical review and site commissioning.
Façade & Identity
Night-time identity strategies that reveal material, rhythm, form and architectural hierarchy without visual clutter.
Landscape & Public Realm
Human-scale illumination for streets, plazas, gardens, pathways, landmarks and civic destinations.
Analysis & Simulation
Lux calculations, luminance studies, false-colour analysis, daylight assessment and technical compliance reporting.
Controls & Smart Lighting
DALI, DMX, KNX and scene-setting strategies developed around operation, energy, flexibility and user experience.
Site Support
Submittal review, mock-ups, inspections, aiming, programming, commissioning and post-occupancy tuning.
Selected work
Projects across scales, sectors and geographies.

Private Building
Linear accents reinforce building geometry and create a distinctive after-dark identity.
Consultancy intelligence
Design decisions supported by evidence.
HALO does more than select luminaires. We test the design against visual comfort, energy, environmental impact, standards, installation constraints and long-term operation.
Illuminance & uniformity
Calculation grids, average/minimum values, uniformity ratios, mounting studies and comparison against project criteria.
- Horizontal and vertical illuminance
- Road and public realm luminance
- Task-area and circulation studies
Glare & contrast control
Review of direct glare, reflected glare, brightness hierarchy and contrast to support comfort and visual legibility.
- UGR and threshold increment
- Beam aiming and shielding
- Surface luminance balance
Energy & dark-sky assessment
Power density, control strategy, efficacy, uplight and spill-light assessments developed for local and international targets.
- LPD and connected load
- BUG/uplight review
- Dimming and operational scenes
