This urban-rustic retreat in the city was created by our client in the middle of Calgary, backing onto the Elbow River. The urban context inspired a more unconventional feel; contrasting traditional timber shapes with more contemporary touches such as whitewashed woodslat ceilings with rich red-brown timbers, resulting in a cabin in the city in which our client feel they have escaped to the country.
“The level of service Starlight provided was like a personalized boutique store for myself and my clients. The staff is very knowledgeable and efficient which is important to me. The size of their team is a more intimate size which enabled me to build a more personal relationship with the team member who worked me with on this project and the power of that relationship saved me time and my client money.”

It was a complete overhaul down to the farming to get this house out of the 80s. New tongue and groove ceiling and beams, beautiful wood flooring, custom millwork and cabinetry, Hubbardton Forge lighting and creative paint effects bring new warmth into this robust mountain home. Details such as new tiling and stonework throughout the home bring the elements of the outdoors in.
“Starlight has always been a pleasure to deal with and easy to shop locally with, along with a vast array of sources for lighting they also offer great advice and expertise.”

In October 2017, the client requested to improve his auto-detail business light levels. Measuring an estimate of 32 feet by 77 feet, the one-storey auto-detail premises are comprised of vehicle ingress and egress, main repair room, customer waiting area and closet space. Using a DLM2 light meter, the initial foot candle readings from the installed 11 metal halide (MH) lamps were 13-30 FC from the reference point. The end business goals of the client for his auto-detail lighting retrofit include improved work quality, increased efficiency and productivity leading to a concrete result of greater customer satisfaction and retention.
Starlight Lighting provided an effective solution by raising the lighting levels in excess of 50 FC. The step-by-step 3-week LED retrofit of the auto-detail started with the initial ocular visit, laser meter space measurement, provision of existing fixture layout to lighting designer and AutoCAD background development for lighting calculations. Manufactured by CSC LED Corp., the 150W 120V UL-listed LED high-bay would replace the 11 MH lamps and achieve on average over 51 FC. The LED fixtures which were ordered and installed in less than a week, exceeded the lighting calculations by 10 FC since the client mounted the lights one meter below the calculation points. With the strategic business goals accomplished, the client's net expenditure was less than $125 per fixture inclusive of federal taxes under BNI 01094 of Energy Efficiency Alberta’s Business, Non-Profit and Institutional Energy Savings Program.
