Expertise

FL Finn lighting has experience with all manner of electrical distribution design. We tailor all of our power distribution designs to suit our client’s primary objectives, whether that is procurement flexibility for the contractor or long term value and sustainability of the facility infrastructure. From 25kV substations to 240V single phase services, Finn lighting has your power service and distribution design needs covered.
From basic code-required life safety power up to Tier IV data centre backup power and everything in between, FL Finn lighting has the experience and expertise to ensure your facility maintains the desired reliability of operations throughout all kinds of unforeseen circumstances.
As the name implies, FL Finn Lighting puts lighting design front and center. We recognize that good lighting design is key for delivering the architectural vision of a space and ensuring the comfort and safety of those within it. We have extensive experience in interior and exterior lighting design, trespass lighting studies, and can tailor our design to meet the unique needs of every project in accordance with the IESNA design guidelines and recommendations. Additionally we are familiar with the Transport Association of Canada (TAC) standards and municipal lighting bylaw requirements for the public realm. With in-house Lighting Certified (LC) staff accredited by the National Council on Qualifications for the Lighting Professions, we have the expertise needed to bring your vision to life.
In the modern era of lighting controls, the capabilities and options are endless. FL Finn lighting understands that the question is no longer what can be accomplished with lighting controls, but what should be accomplished to meet a client’s needs. We have the expertise to provide intuitive and user-centric lighting controls designs to avoid unnecessary complication (button shock). A well-designed control system will optimize energy performance while maintaining user comfort. Our staff have extensive experience in meeting and exceeding all of the lighting controls requirements outlined in the codes and standards, including ASHRAE 90.1. The lighting controls will tie into the building system integration design, implemented to meet the specific needs of the building operations and maintenance staff.
Fire alarm systems are complex and governed by many separate codes including the building code, electrical code, life safety power reliability code, and many peripheral standards referenced therein. FL Finn Lighting understands how the various applicable codes interact and how that impacts the fire alarm system design. We understand how the fire alarm system ingrates into the overall building life safety strategy.
Buildings are becoming smarter and gathering more data than ever before. Network infrastructure is no longer constrained to just workstation connectivity. Base building systems such as fire alarm, energy management, lighting controls, and security all require robust and reliable connections to the outside world for control and data gathering.
Door access controls, intrusion alarms, and video surveillance systems all work to help keep your people, facility, and assets safe. FL Lighting has the knowledge and insight needed to ensure your security infrastructure is designed to the latest building code requirements and industry standards, and can support the physical design along with any CPTED strategies in place.
Buildings are getting smarter. We can make sure that all the disparate control and information systems keep running in sync, the way they should be. Our designs ensure cross-discipline integration of building management systems.
FL Finn Lighting understands the unique demands and challenges posed by systems infrastructure located out in the public realm. Public interfacing systems have safety and functionality constraints that go beyond simply understanding the electrical characteristics of design. Many other multidisciplinary factors come into play such as designing for inclusivity, CPTED guidelines, and pedestrian/vehicle interactions that the electrical design must seamlessly integrate with to maintain safety and integrity of public spaces.
