Focus Lighting

Focus Lighting is a New York City based architectural lighting design firm founded by Paul Gregory in 1987.

Focus Lighting designs include the Entel Tower in Santiago, Chile, which was the first automated color changing exterior lighting display in the world and the first building to have an automatic color-change at night. The 40-story tower opened in October 1994.[1] Focus Lighting also designed the Times Square Ball for its 100th and 101st anniversaries.[2]

Focus Lighting creates lighting designs for hotels, restaurants, residences, retail stores, art installations, sports venues, and museums. Their design philosophy centers on creating an emotion with light.[3]
