What makes a space feel truly luxurious? It’s not more fixtures or bigger budgets — it’s intentional lighting design.

In this episode of the LytePOD, host Sam sits down with Garrett Neal of NEAL Lighting to unpack why good lighting doesn’t have to be expensive, how to plan with furniture and architecture first, and why integrators should think like designers to deliver better results.

You’ll learn:

• How lighting shapes atmosphere and vibe (like music in a space)

• Why contrast, shadows, and restraint create luxury experiences

• The role of a lighting consultant in high-end residential and hospitality projects

• Practical advice for custom integrators who want to elevate their work

If you’re an integrator, architect, or designer who wants to add more value to projects — this conversation is your playbook.
