Requirement Definition – How to Write a Custom Light Brief

The Requirement Definition section of the LanternsArt Knowledge Base provides guidance on the critical first step of any custom light project — defining what is needed before fabrication begins. Clear requirements prevent misalignment, reduce revisions, and ensure the final installation meets both aesthetic and functional expectations.

This section covers two core areas: writing effective installation briefs (requirements gathering, scope definition, and technical specifications) and conducting thorough site assessments (venue evaluation, power requirements, and installation constraints).

Proper requirements definition is the foundation of successful custom light installations. It ensures that all stakeholders — event planners, procurement managers, and fabricators — share a common understanding of project goals.
