Commercial Lighting Design & Installation for Birmingham Workspaces

Lighting systems affect visibility, safety, and power use across every commercial property. Our team designs and installs lighting built around layout, code, and performance goals. Each system is planned by use type and then installed to match the required output, spacing, and fixture style.

We work with general contractors, facility managers, and business owners to build systems that meet operational demands without delays. Whether you’re updating interior fixtures or wiring for exterior coverage, we install lighting that aligns with your site conditions and use case.

We complete lighting installs across warehouses, office suites, retail locations, and public facilities. Projects include ceiling grid layouts, exterior wall packs, parking lot poles, and emergency egress fixtures. We confirm spacing, output, and voltage before work begins to avoid design conflicts and fixture mismatches.

Lighting is one of the most visible electrical systems on any site. At 1Point Electric, we help commercial clients across Alabama complete clean, code-compliant installs that support productivity and reduce long-term maintenance.

Common Commercial Lighting Projects We Complete

Lighting is a key part of most commercial projects, especially during renovations, upgrades, and new construction. Our team installs lighting systems that meet visibility, usage, and layout goals across a wide range of property types. Each project is planned by fixture type, mounting conditions, and output requirements to match the scope.

The list below outlines the most common commercial lighting projects we complete in Birmingham and surrounding areas:

  • Building Renovations: Interior and exterior lighting replacements completed as part of remodels, repurposing, or layout changes.
  • Exterior Lighting Installations: Wall-mounted fixtures, pole lights, and floodlights installed to increase visibility and perimeter coverage.
  • Lighting Upgrades: Fixture replacements that reduce energy use, increase lifespan, or improve brightness across commercial spaces.
  • New Construction Projects: Complete lighting systems installed from plans, including layout review, wiring, and fixture mounting.
  • Retail or Office Build-Outs: Custom lighting installed in tenant spaces, finished offices, or retail showrooms with confirmed output and spacing.

Lighting needs vary by space, but the goal remains the same: complete the install without delays, rework, or compliance issues.

Commercial Lighting Design & Installation FAQs

Lighting systems require planning around layout, fixture type, and usage conditions. Below are the most common questions our team receives during commercial lighting projects in Birmingham and surrounding areas.

Lighting design starts with layout and usage. We review ceiling height, surface reflectance, mounting type, and fixture output to match visibility needs. We also verify circuit capacity and control strategy before installation begins.

Our team coordinates fixture spacing, emergency lighting, and control zones to meet commercial codes and reduce long-term service needs. Once the layout is confirmed, materials are ordered and installation is scheduled based on the project phase.

We install lighting across a range of commercial environments, including:

  • Emergency Egress Lighting: Code-required fixtures placed at exits and along travel paths.
  • Exterior Wall Packs & Floodlights: Mounted lighting used for building perimeter and security coverage.
  • Interior Ceiling Grid Fixtures: Troffers and flat panels installed in offices or retail ceilings.
  • Pole-Mounted Lot Lighting: Fixtures installed on poles for parking or site visibility.
  • Task Zone Lighting: Fixtures focused on production or workspace areas with confirmed output.

Each installation is completed using the proper mounting hardware, voltage checks, and spacing.

Yes. We can match new lighting to current controls or integrate with upgraded systems. Our team confirms compatibility with timers, daylight sensors, and zone controls before installation.

If the existing system is no longer supported, we recommend updated controls that meet project goals. All wiring is installed cleanly, and control zones are tested during final inspection.

Timeline expectations vary by project. Key factors include:

  • Fixture Lead Time: Some fixture types require advance ordering based on quantity or spec.
  • Site Readiness: Wiring and mounting prep must be completed before fixture installation.
  • Coordination with Other Trades: Lighting is often installed after ceilings or drywall are finished.
  • Permit Requirements: Some jurisdictions require lighting permits and inspections before occupancy.
  • Work Hours or Access Restrictions: Some sites only allow work during off-hours or weekends.

We review all conditions in advance and coordinate work based on project schedules.

In most cases, yes. Lighting installations in commercial spaces often fall under electrical permits. This includes new circuits, exit lighting, and code-driven installations.

We handle permit applications, coordinate with inspectors, and schedule all necessary walkthroughs. Final inspections confirm that layout, output, and emergency lighting requirements are met before occupancy.
