Testimonials
Here's what our clients say about us:
-
Working with the Owl team was a big part of the success of our entire project. I’ve carried out multiple renovations myself, but I knew early on that I would need specialist lighting input for this full renovation to really bring the building to life. Sally and the team stayed absolutely on brief, communicated with me and the builders flawlessly and the final results are better even than we’d hoped for. I have passed Owl’s details on to many people: I wouldn’t dream of doing another project without them.

I arrived home from work after dark yesterday evening – ready for the grand reveal. The garden lighting looks fabulous. So soft and atmospheric. We are very impressed, and will happily recommend you and your transformational work.
Thank you so much for finding the time to come over while the installation chaps were still here too, avoiding the need for any return visits on their part. That was much appreciated.

I used Owl Lighting to help us when we were refurbishing our Grade 2 listed house. We have lots of beams and different height ceilings so I knew that getting the lighting right was not only important but also could be quite tricky. Sally Stephenson came for the first site visit extremely promptly and also provided the lighting plan very quickly as the builders wanted it yesterday! She also explained the different types of lighting to me and we are delighted with the final results
-
I am genuinely delighted with the lighting.
-
We are really amazed at what a difference you have made and whilst we are thrilled with all of it I am particularly delighted by the external lights. My only very real regret is that I didn’t know about you when we gutted the house six years ago as I now know what a difference good lighting can make. Many thanks for all your expertise.

The lights fittings are in place and look VERY fine. Exactly what we were seeking. Many thanks for your help and advice.”

We had not intended to build a new house, but only renovate & extend the existing property. However as the project progressed it became apparent that we were planning bigger and better things and it became clear to me that we needed to be certain that the lighting would do justice to, and indeed enhance, the final result. A friend was also in the process of building a house and she recommended we speak to Sally Stephenson at Owl Lighting.
It was a fine recommendation – Sally was approachable, a good listener, took time to understand the requirements in each space and took our draft lighting design and refined it, adding flexibility, interest and depth to each space. Furthermore she was able to recommend specific lights for each location to ensure that the result was not compromised by inappropriate fittings.
Detailed specifications and installation notes were provided, which were an invaluable resource for the electricians and workmen on site. They were also extremely helpful for us – there are so many things to remember when building, and Sally’s involvement took a weight off our minds.
The results are fabulous – we have the ability to adapt the lighting in each space to suit the occasion – be it brightly lit and functional, or dim and moody for the evenings. We love the lights which highlight the architectural details in the house, as they maximise the wow factor of those elements.
So a house which was designed to maximise daylight now also looks amazing at night.
Thank you Sally

Sorry for the delay ….. I wanted to send you a note to say how nice the lights look. I love the ability to change the mood in the kitchen and it is such an improvement from our old lighting. I love the effect of the light over the mantel and onto the floor. Thank you for your guidance – it was lovely to work with you and I am sure we will work together again.

I just want to say that the lighting looks wonderful and I’m very grateful for your work. Left to my own devices we would have had very ordinary lighting…….
……I will be delighted to recommend you to anyone who is thinking of undertaking such work

We have recently completed the renovation of a 16th century Barn in West Sussex and Sally Stephenson was responsible for the lighting design and supply of all the fittings both internally and externally. The system was linked to Gira Home Serve which can be operated remotely from several devices. The quality of the fittings and the drawings provided were of a very high standard. Sally is extremely professional and creative. The clients were absolutely thrilled with the end result.”

Now that we have managed to reclaim the house from the builders I wanted to thank you very much for all your work on the lighting.
As you know it was all too technical for me and I had to rely on you completely and we are very pleased that we did! We are really delighted with it all, it has given the house a great detail of character that it did not have before and we get a lot of pleasure from all the different lighting effects. Thank you very much again.”

I have not yet thanked you for the splendid job that you did for our flat. It looks absolutely gorgeous, especially at night. We have lots of dark sludgy colours and your lighting design has really enhanced it. I am thrilled – THANK YOU!”

It only took a 5 minute phone call for Sally to understand our lighting needs, and I knew I had found just the right person to design the lighting for our new kitchen. She was a complete professional throughout the entire project. She came to the house to understand the room and she was here whenever she thought the builders or engineers needed her guidance. She drove the lighting design, worked with our builders and electricians and insured everyone hit the necessary deadlines. On top of that she created a beautiful lighting scheme in my kitchen with high quality fixtures and a great variety of moods for different occasions. As a nice bonus, her enthusiasm was infectious and she was a joy to work with.”
