014 CONTENTS [ILDS/2013]


Now in its third year, the International Lighting Design Survey has steadily become an invaluable resource book for all those operating in the lighting design industry. Since its launch in 2011, the survey has joined the mondo*arc team on our travels to all the major lighting exhibitions and conferences around the world, with every trip throwing up fresh contacts who have in turn helped add depth and detail to each new edition. Their willingness to contribute is indicative of a universally positive response to the survey and its aims. For lighting designers and specifiers it offers a unique reference tool, allowing them to source the technology they need, wherever their projects take them. For manufacturers it’s a chance to help potential and existing clients find a local distributor for their products.


From the inside it isn’t always easy to get a feel for the industry as a whole – its health and scope – or to gauge how our own experiences compare to those of colleagues elsewhere. In answer to this, the ILDS also publishes the results of our annual survey of lighting design practices – revealing the current trends and challenges facing the industry. By canvassing our sample group - a representative cross section of lighting design practices of varying sizes and from a wide geographical spread, including Asia, the Middle East, Australia, Europe, the UK and USA – we offer a long view of where the whole industry is heading.


This year’s results, found on page 18, suggest that, as the industry continues to mature and expand, new challenges emerge. The number of practices around the world has grown as independent designers break away from established firms to set up on their own (this year’s ILDS lists 1,070 – up 120 on the previous year). Pressure on fees remains high, with the average gross revenue per practice steadily dropping from US$1,6000,000 in 2009 to US$1,395,289 in 2012, and this year revenue per head fell to below US$100,000 for the first time since the survey began. For many practices the response has been to diversify, offering their clients a wider range of skills and increasing the scope of the projects they take on. Undoubtedly, experiences vary from practice to practice, so if you have an alternative view, we would be interested to hear it. Equally, if you spot anything among the listings that isn’t quite as it should be, then please get in touch. Your feedback will help us ensure the ILDS contiues to evolve as an essential annual resource book.
