Lighting design and control.

Fixture selection, dimming, and lighting scenes for morning, evening, and entertaining. Fewer switches on the wall, and the house lit the way it was designed.

What does lighting
control change in a home?

Every light is set to a scene from one keypad. The banks of switches disappear, each room is lit for what it is being used for, and the fixtures are chosen with your architect and designer rather than left for the electrician to figure out on site.

The scope.

One house, three scenes.

A dining room at dusk with a warm cove glow in the ceiling, a large abstract canvas lit from above and a dimmed glass pendant over a walnut table. — 01Dining scene: cove, art light, pendant

A long gallery hall at dusk where a row of recessed downlights washes five abstract canvases beside a wall of steel-framed glass. — 02Downlights aimed at the art wall

An oak stair at dusk with a soft warm light under each tread and a tall window framing bare oaks and a slate roof. — 03Stair lights at night level

The equipment, by name.

A Lutron Palladiom keypad in satin nickel on a plaster wall, engraved Welcome, Away, Entertain, Dine, Evening and All Off, with a brick house soft beyond the window. — 01Lutron Palladiom keypad, satin nickel

A row of DMF Lighting M-Series downlights with square pinhole trims in a plaster ceiling, each casting a soft pool of light down a limestone wall. — 02DMF M-Series pinhole downlights

Questions worth asking early.

When should lighting control be planned?

During design, before the electrical plan is fixed. That is when it costs least and gives the design team the most freedom.

Can lighting control be added in a renovation?

Yes. Wireless dimmers and battery or wired shades both work in existing homes. The evaluation tells you which fits the house.
