I can describe myself in engineering discipline that deals with the technological aspects and multi-disciplinary approach to planning, design, construction and operation of buildings, such as analysis and integrated design of environmental systems. I am an Istanbul based connoiseur of architectural lighting and light; its structure, composition, silence, accents and expressions…
My knowledge, experience, awareness and sensitivity allow me to articulate and deliver outstanding lighting solutions for seductive spaces and noticeable people.

Our Work
Where our passion comes to life
Inspiring in Lighting
How do you unleash the creative forces in a lighting projects for different type of spaces. We believe that we can break the inertia of inaction. PIVOTLUX delivers a one-of-a-kind light experience that will challenge people think differently in workplaces, stores or private zones.
Design-Engineering-Cost Effectiveness
For Office projects; Enhancing people’s sense of well-being with uniform ulimination of the task area is the priority. Integration in to the architecture and esthetic value of luminaires should ve evaluated. Costs can be reduced through sustainable efficient solutios. Energy and maintenance costs result in quick amortisation and real profit in subsequent years.
For Presentaion and Retail projects PIVOTLUX offers target group segmentation in each individual lighting solutions. More balanced and harmonised design criterions matches with more balance individuals’ requirements. Furthermore critical persons would be satisfied with dominance in lighting such as discreetly mood-enhancing lighting effects. High-contrast scenarios with low horizontal general lighting levels are more suitable for unconventional persons and this is adventural side of lighting design.
Optimization and Production
Engineering and optimization is a pivotal phase of lighting projects. Lighting calculation softwares such as Dialux or Relux help to prove more qualitative and quantitive values of the projects. Almost all lighting tools need to be customised in production for result driven cases and total cost effectiveness goals. PIVOTLUX combines disciplines and peoples through 25 years of proven success.
