New Lighting Firm Aims to Revolutionize CI Projects
The lighting industry is witnessing a significant shift with the launch of Illuminated Lighting Design Solutions (ILDS), a new venture by three industry veterans—Lynne Stambouly, Bruce Clark, and Curtis Searles. Set to operate out of Fort Myers, Florida, ILDS plans to partner with builders, architects, and custom integrators to enhance the aesthetic and functionality of lighting in homes and commercial projects.
Bridging Art and Functionality in Lighting Design
With nearly 40 years of experience, Stambouly brings a wealth of knowledge in sales, design, and project management to ILDS. Her vision is to provide not just designs, but a personalized experience that integrates artistic insight with practical application. She emphasizes the importance of creating lighting that is both appealing and functional.
A Team Ready to Meet Market Needs
Bruce Clark, the Design Principal, adds a technological edge to ILDS, having extensive experience in custom integrations. His involvement at major industry events, like Lightapalooza, allows him to stay abreast of trends and client needs. "We recognized a real need for a firm that supports integrators and designers while simplifying their processes," Clark shares.
Enhancing Collaboration Across the Industry
Co-founder Searles underscores ILDS’s mission: “Our goal is to remove the guesswork and frustration from lighting design.” With over 25 years in construction and lighting, he is committed to ensuring that lighting serves as a foundational element rather than just a final decorative touch.
Looking Ahead: The Future of Lighting Design in Collaboration
As the industry adapts to new technologies and greater demands for sustainable solutions, ILDS is positioned to significantly impact how lighting design is approached. Their innovative strategies not only aim to elevate projects but also to forge stronger relationships across disciplines within the construction and design sectors. The founders believe that by combining their diverse talents and experiences, they can proficiently cater to the evolving needs of the CI channel.
