Switch Lighting Design & Consultancy
About Us
We offer unbiased professional lighting advice, design and consultation. We believe to be at the forefront of creative thinking and knowledge in latest technology.
Switch Lighting Design & Consultancy is directed by Omar Shahab, Member of the International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD) and member of the Illuminating Engineering Society (MIES) with over nineteen years’ background and solid qualifications in illuminating engineering. Switch has strong experience working on a variety of projects both in Australasia and internationally in the UK, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, engaged by renowned architects and developers.
Having graduated from Engineering Product Design (University of Central England) with a BSc Hons, I started my career in lighting design shortly afterwards, working for leading UK independent lighting consultancy, Pinniger & Partners. While still in the UK I studied towards my LIF certificates. I’ve since worked for both independent consultancies as well as large engineering firms, before setting up my own independent lighting design and consultancy, Switch.
I now bring all my past experience and wisdom to projects without being restricted to a particular manufacturer, range of lighting, or agenda.
I am able to offer completely unbiased expert advice and design. I am an approved author under the Auckland City Council as well as the Southern Building Controls Group (SBCG), registered to provide producer statements. In 2012 I was part of a small team of experts engaged by EECA and EMANZ to present a series of seminars across the country on the importance of good commercial lighting design. The seminars fitted well with my own personal interest in sustainable, future-proof lighting – a passion which is evident in any Switch project. In 2015 I became a Member of the Illuminating Engineering Society of Australia and New Zealand – MIES.
I have worked on a wide range of project types, from specialist facade, commerical to retail, educational to arts and cultural, road and urban to high-end residential.
I am highly organised and an excellent communicator: engaging Switch on a project means working with a company that is efficient, friendly and enthusiastic as well as thorough on all aspects of the job.
