“In 2008, Lux Lighting Design added a whole new dimension to the nightscape on Boston Common and at our outdoor skating rink, the Frog Pond.  Parkman Bandstand and the Frog Pond pavilion were lit with energy-efficient LEDs designed by Lux Lighting Design along with colorful projections that added color and visual interest to the ice at night.  It has been a pleasure working with the company and their designs added greatly to one of the most popular attractions in our park system.”

“I have hired Doreen and Lux Lighting for several lighting design projects, residential and commercial. I have been extremely pleased with the level of industry and technical lighting knowledge that Doreen brings to projects and her ability to strategize and think creatively around the unique objectives and concerns of different jobs. Doreen is the consummate professional.”

“Doreen Le May Madden is a lighting specialist who set up individual spot lighting for the paintings in my home. Initially she came to my home to scope out the work and determine the number and type of fixtures that would be required. At the second visit, she directed her electrician in the precise positioning of the mono lights to make certain that the proper distance between the light fixture and the painting was maintained. The electrician did excellent work with very little observable construction to the walls and ceilings. Lighting makes all the difference in home decor and although she did not light my entire home, I recognized how specific and difficult the science of light travel really is.”

“When I needed lighting expertise for a home that needed both an interior and exterior plan, I brought in Doreen Le May Madden of Lux Lighting Design. She has decades of experience about the technicalities of todays lighting environments. Her knowledge includes not only creating today’s energy efficient lighting plans but also merging todays efficiencies within older homes – all while respecting beauty of the past and incorporating the beauty of today- not an easy feat. If you are considering a complex or even a simple lighting plan, it would be worth your while to bring in a seasoned expert who can help you avoid costly mistakes and to the job done properly. Doreen knows lighting, both inside and out.”

I have interviewed lighting professionals from all over the country, yet I’ve never spoken to anyone with the breadth of knowledge Doreen has about lighting design. Not only is she on top of all the new technology and techniques, she has given a lot of thought to the design psychology of lighting and how it can improve our lives. Her essays on the impact of lighting on the human subconscious are extremely insightful. Truly a leader in this field!”
