Lighting design with purpose—where creativity meets technical clarity
About Archilux
Formerly KL Lighting Consultants — illuminating architecture with clarity, creativity, and technical excellence since 2000.
Archilux is the evolution of KL Lighting — a lighting consultancy born from the theater and refined by decades of architectural collaboration. Founded by Jeff Mendrala in 2000, the firm began with residential and landscape lighting and quickly grew in scale and reputation. From Austin to destinations across the globe, our work now spans multimillion-dollar projects in luxury residential, commercial, and mixed-use development.
Our approach balances the human, the artistic, and the technical. We design lighting that performs, inspires, and supports the architectural vision — all while maintaining a low environmental footprint and a high standard of precision.
What We Do
We make the complex simple. From full-scale lighting design to code compliance and design sprints, Archilux provides the expertise and agility today’s projects demand. We serve as both creative partners and technical guides, delivering results that stand up to scrutiny and stand out in design.
