OurServices

We design lighting systems that operate efficiently from installation through regular use, with simple setup and low maintenance. They help create calm, comfortable spaces. Before we start designing them, we dig deep into requirements and needs, to make sure we have understood and aligned expectations. It is important for us to understand related systems that impact lighting, whether they are aesthetic or safety-oriented. We assign tasks in our team based on project size, always respecting deadlines and budgets. We consider communication a vital part of every successful project, so we work and communicate closely with architects, designers, electrical engineers, electricians, and other on-site contractors.

The lighting systems Syntera installs are open-standard, which means they can connect and communicate with other systems. They can transmit data to other systems that monitor processes in facilities (IoT). We use globally accepted standards like the DMX and DALI protocols. We avoid brand-specific systems. If we encounter closed systems already installed by others, we look for solutions to enable them to communicate or work together; this is one of our key strengths. Another important feature of our systems is modularity. It allows for easy repairs in the event of a malfunction, as well as system upgrades if at some point the client wants to implement newer technologies.

Emergency lighting systems are strictly regulated safety systems. Designing them is our ​​expertise; we are well-versed in all standards and regulations. Because safety is their key role, emergency lighting systems are closed and generally less modular. In the design phase, parameterization—specifically the alignment of photometric characteristics, luminaire positioning, light output, and energy consumption—is crucial. The goal is to achieve maximum light output with minimal energy consumption. We perform system parameterization again during the programming and commissioning stages. At this step, we define how the system should function and which other systems it will communicate with. We have a track record of successful projects, always delivering a serious and professional approach—from initial design through to system commissioning. 

Lighting control systems are implemented to achieve the following:

1. Ambiance. Lighting has long ceased to be just a source of illumination; it influences how we feel in the spaces where we live, work, or relax. Together with clients and lighting designers, we create control systems tailored to the space's purpose and the users' preferences.
2. Energy savings and longevity. Lighting fixtures generate heat and consume energy during operation. Proper control reduces the load on these fixtures and extends their lifespan. For instance, dimming a light fixture by just 10 percent is imperceptible to the human eye as a loss of light, yet it can result in energy savings of up to 30 percent.
3. Better insight and control. Control systems are very useful in large facilities, as they enable centralized management. In other words, lighting in multiple rooms can be controlled from one location. If you implement automated operation based on the facility's needs, it will ensure consistent lighting and precision, while saving you time and money. Furthermore, the control system will provide data on the status of lighting fixtures and the network itself—indicating, for example, if a fixture is functioning correctly, its stage in the lifecycle, and if replacements are needed.

In sports facilities and recreational areas, smart lighting control systems can reduce energy consumption by up to 90 percent. In homes, hotels, and other buildings, they increase the value of the property. 

While some types of lighting systems can be installed quickly and easily, others are technically more demanding. Syntera carefully monitors each project on site. We guide electricians that install lighting systems. We make sure that all technical instructions are followed during installation, which prevents repairs and interventions later on.

Before the implementation, we define requirements and help select lighting fixtures. In this process, we collaborate with architects, designers, and electrical engineers. We first define the desired outcome. Then we analyze the technical specifications of the fixtures, such as beam patterns, control systems, and light color. Thanks to a network of over 300 suppliers, we can find the ideal lighting fixture for any project—one that perfectly meets the space's requirements and the designer's vision. Syntera also works on projects in which entirely new, unique lighting fixtures are created. They are fully tailored to the client's wishes and the identity of the space in which they are installed

(such as those incorporating Istrian stone for the Valamar Pical Hotel).

Fine-tuning is important for the proper use and functioning of a lighting system. It is that final step of precise adjusting, which includes accurate aiming, programming, and tailoring the system to the space. Fine-tuning is very important in venues such as museums, churches, and sports facilities. In restaurants, precise lighting adjustments can create a superb visual impression and a welcoming atmosphere. It plays a key role in landscaping projects (gardens, parks, and residential grounds) as well; since the environment changes with the seasons, adjusting the lighting helps preserve the natural rhythm of the landscape. When lighting is fine-tuned precisely, it fulfills its intended purpose and justifies the investment. Although the process may seem abstract to some clients, communicating with Syntera helps them increasingly recognize its importance and the difference it makes in a space. Without fine-tuning, even the most expensive lighting cannot create a space that is both functional and pleasant to be in.

Maintaining lighting systems of all kinds is an important part of our business. We’ve been recognized as reliable partners that solve the most challenging technical demands. Our expertise is known among foreign lighting and security systems makers. They reach out to Syntera with trust. 

There are two basic types of maintenance:

• Regular (preventive) maintenance. It is done continually, at agreed time intervals, to prevent problems. For example, emergency lighting systems are required by law to be checked once per year. Regular maintenance prevents problems that would arise if those systems were not maintained.
• Corrective (extraordinary) maintenance. Usually done in cases of malfunctions that couldn’t have been foreseen, even with regular maintenance. We take on every task with maximum diligence and professionalism, regardless of whether the system was designed by us, or by other companies.  

Maintenance by project type:

• Systems designed by Syntera.

If we designed the solution and participated in all project stages, we take full responsibility for our systems. We look to keep maintenance costs as low as possible for the client. Our involvement begins well before the construction work is finished. Starting with the first equipment deliveries, Syntera will be on site and coordinate installation with contractors, to make sure it is done to the highest standards. Technical consulting and on-site support are a part of our process, vouching for the longevity and top functioning of lighting systems we have designed.

• Systems designed by other companies.

Our team will start by analysing how the system was built, so we could locate any issues and address them. This requires deep technical understanding, which Syntera has. We have a market reputation for being a partner able to address problems that others could not help with.

Relamping solutions are an integral part of our maintenance services. Relamping means moving

from old, oftentimes inefficient sources of light to new, energy-saving technologies. We approach the project in the same way as we approach lighting systems design. Whether it is an interior or outdoor, each space requires us to look at its specifics in detail, so that we could offer an adequate solution.

Depending on what the client needs, Syntera can develop:

• Lighting fixtures replacement project
• Relamping cost-effectiveness project

Acoustic ceilings are an important part of modern spaces in which sound hygiene is taken care of. They are used in offices, halls, wellness areas, restaurants and other spaces where sound needs to be absorbed in order to reduce noise and echo. Sound waves spread just like light, i.e. they have similar physical characteristics. Owing to our expertise in lighting, we can easily understand sound waves, and we can develop and implement solutions involving them. In this area, we also offer full service, from design and sourcing to installation. In partnership with renowned manufacturers, we offer modular acoustic panels built from recycled materials such as PET bottles. These solutions adapt to spaces superbly, and they are sustainable and eco-friendly.
