Current Technology

One of the most overlooked aspects of contemporary home design is lighting.  You might be surprised how often a gorgeous home full of many great features like audio systems, homes theaters, and top-notch security designs take a ho-hum approach to lighting.  For some reason, this area of home design is too often taken for granted.  Ask anyone who has enjoyed the countless benefits that lighting control and a good lighting design can offer.  You’ll quickly learn that lighting control and lighting design offer greater security, lower energy costs, a more comfortable lifestyle, and dramatic aesthetic improvements.

Thanks to today’s technology, there has never been a better time to consider the benefits of a custom lighting design.  The lighting for your entire home, both inside and out, can be integrated within a reliable home automation system in unbelievably effective ways.  Even better, today’s systems offer effortless controls that can be mastered in a matter of seconds.  Imagine coming home from work and having your home illuminate a path of light from your garage to the area in your home where you rest your keys, purse, or briefcase.  Imagine also having your dining room lights dim to the perfect level of ambience for a dinner party without worrying about awkward and unsightly dimming switches.  Those are only two examples of the countless benefits that lighting control offers.  Your lights can also be designed to automatically brighten or dim as the sun rises and sets or the seasons change.  This ensures maximum energy savings and a more comfortable lifestyle.

The best way to begin the process is with a certified lighting designer (and, yes, we have a certified lighting designer in house!)  The advantage of using a certified lighting designer is that they bring a wealth of technical knowledge while also understanding the aesthetic demands of lighting.  The problems that can occur with less experienced people attempting lighting design range from the sloppy to the dangerous.   A certified lighting designer understands the complicated electrical concerns, but also knows the difference between a nice-looking fixture and a high-functioning fixture (which looks great AND functions perfectly, too.)  Sometimes, a less experienced designer will stick their customer with a fixture that looks fabulous in a showroom, and may even look nice in a home, but simply provides the wrong type of light for the situation at hand.  We pride ourselves in always anticipating the many concerns that go into custom lighting design and lighting control before any problems arise.  In short, we get it right the first time, and you always get the design that works for you.  We don’t do cookie-cutter and we don’t cut corners.
