Hire a lighting planner or not?

What is the lighting planner supposed to cost?

900 euros

I think doubters is the wrong word. There are people who value something like that and people who don’t place any value on it.

And there are doubters. In the sense of people like you, who always first say that they need it visualized. That, I think, also applies to lighting design – wanting to see exactly what it is good for and how it’s supposed to work. Doubters are not heretics; they are often "just not convinced yet." And that, in turn, is often only because the visual idea to follow the opinion is still missing.

I don't need any visualization for lighting design. For me, this topic is more about someone planning the whole thing economically with sense, understanding, and a broad market overview. In the end, only Lampen Hugo around the corner will be happy if he "plans" it for me.

The lighting designer also calculates the lighting requirements and uses mathematical methods. This can certainly be more efficient than if just any electrician randomly covers the ceiling with spots. He also develops a concept for outside.

Yes, but now the others are in the same situation as before (with the roof shape, with the facades, etc.). You. So that now the readers are missing the picture.

I think I expressed myself poorly. Of course, the lighting planner marks it on the floor plans and discusses it with me. From that point, I can gladly visualize it on the plan later. I meant that I don't need a 3D visualization for lighting planning to imagine the planned lights in the new home. I also find it exciting what they can do with both direct and indirect lighting. The lighting planner showed me a few things, and I found that quite impressive.
