Problem
Architectural lighting design is fragmented across manufacturer microsites, project case studies, and technical guides, making it difficult for professionals to find inspiration, compare products, and create specifications efficiently. The process of moving from concept to a lighting specification often requires navigating dozens of sources, leading to time-consuming research and inconsistent decision-making.
Solution
Archlior provides a comprehensive digital platform that consolidates lighting inspiration, product data, and design tools into a single interface. The platform features a curated gallery of real-world projects across hospitality, retail, workplace, and residential sectors, alongside a searchable catalog of specification-grade fixtures from 250+ manufacturers. Its AI Lighting Studio allows users to upload a photo of a room and instantly generate realistic lighting visualizations, switching between moods, color temperatures, and lighting techniques without CAD software. The platform also includes educational guides and technical articles on topics like museum lighting, sauna-specific requirements, and dimming compatibility, helping users make informed decisions. By combining architectural thinking with engineering logic, Archlior bridges the gap between creative inspiration and technical execution, enabling users to move from concept to specification faster.
Target Audience
Primary users are architects, interior designers, lighting consultants, and specifiers who need accurate technical data and design inspiration for commercial, hospitality, and residential projects, as well as homeowners exploring lighting ideas for their spaces.
