Questions

What do I need to send?

The facade elevations if you have them (PDF, DWG or DXF); otherwise a straight-on daytime photo of each facade with its approximate dimensions. You can also paste a Dropbox, Google Drive or WeTransfer link.

Can my electrician install the lighting?

Yes. The package gives the positions, references and connection diagram. The installer remains responsible for making the installation comply with local electrical standards.

My building is listed or in a protected area.

Say so in the form and the plan will take it into account. In France, approval from the Architecte des Bâtiments de France may be needed before work; the package helps you present the project.

What about rules on night-time lighting?

For French sites, the scenarios follow the switch-off times that apply to facade lighting in France. Elsewhere, tell us in the form about any local rules you know of.

Can I cancel my order?

Yes, until the package has been delivered: write to tarasova@phld.fr and you will be refunded in full. Once the package is delivered, the order can no longer be cancelled.

My building is larger.

For a villa or commercial building over 1,000 m², ask for a quote and Olesya will reply personally.
