Transform Your Space with Purposeful Lighting

Lighting Design


Designing a beautiful home is about more than choosing the right color palettes and furniture—lighting automation and control play a vital role as well. Lighting should highlight architectural features, bring attention to high-end furnishings and make colors stand out. That same lighting also serves to enhance your everyday life, boosting your mood and helping you accomplish important tasks. Work with our professionals who design and install custom lighting control systems in Newport Beach, Corona Del Mar and Laguna Beach, CA that elevate home décor and improve your lifestyle.

Why hire a lighting designer?

Employing an independent lighting designer may seem like an odd choice for homeowners that have relied on electrical engineers and interior designers to take care of their lighting needs in the past. But when you make lighting a secondary job for others, it becomes an afterthought in your home. A lighting designer masters technical, scientific and stylistic fields to deliver bespoke solutions for their clients.

  • Experts on the latest cutting-edge lighting technology through ongoing training
  • Refined techniques transform invisible light into dynamic architectural design
  • Special training on physics, optics, electricity, codes and environmental impact
  • Equipment costs reduced through competitive bids and manufacturer partnerships
  • Initial cost analysis outlines lighting techniques that will reduce equipment and labor costs
  • Detail-minded staff craft innovative designs attuned to your home and lifestyle needs

Essential Layers of Light


You risk strained eyesight, obtrusive shadows and rigid spaces with a one-tone lighting design. Leverage ambient, task and accent lighting for a visually balanced and flexible space.
Ambient Light
Illuminate the entire room with soft lighting from natural sunlight, recessed ceiling lights or pendants.
Task Lighting
Special pendant, desk or under-cabinet lights provide bright, focused illumination for specific activities.
Accent Lighting
Highlight artwork, photos and architectural details with lighting three times brighter than ambient fixtures.
  • Daytime

    Keep to your workday schedule with a “Daytime” lighting scene that automatically activates at 9 am every day. As you head into your home office, bright white-blue ambient lights and desk lights greet you for optimal focus and concentration.

  • Bedtime

    As you head to bed at the end of the day, prepare for restorative sleep with a “Bedtime” lighting scene you can activate from a bedside remote or tablet. Not only do lights dim gradually, but they switch to a warm, orange hue that induces relaxation.

  • Entertaining

    Entertain in style with a “Party” lighting scene that activates lights in the kitchen and living room to a white-blue hue that keeps guests energized throughout the night. Add landscape lighting to the scene to encourage guests to gravitate to your beautiful outdoor spaces.

  • Movie Night

    Transform your theater into the perfect viewing environment with a “Movie Night” lighting scene on your handheld remote or touchpad that dims recessed lights and decorative sconces while turning on floor track lighting for safe movement during the movie.

Lighting Control


Effortless control is vital for unleashing the true potential of your lighting design. Easily manage the diverse fixtures in your home to develop beautiful layering while maintaining a uniform feel throughout with a lighting automation and control system. Take advantage of a centralized approach to your lighting that not only yields intuitive, tailor-made control from your devices of choice but also results in a streamlined installation for a beautiful, clutter-free space.

Interfaces

High-end lighting control systems feature personalized interfaces available on dedicated touchpads or mobile apps. Approach lighting your way with easy-to-use graphic menus that show the status of lights in each room and let you make changes with a simple button tap. Adjust intensity, color and color temperature for fixtures individually or as groups, then save your favorite settings and pull them up at any time with ease.

Processor

The processor is the heart of your lighting control system, facilitating communication between your control devices and fixtures. Having a high-end processor ensures clear, uninterrupted communication without any lag. Efficient communication means as soon as you input a command—no matter the source—you get an immediate and accurate response. During the initial design stage, our lighting experts determine which model best fits your needs based on its bandwidth and processing power.

Dimming Panels

What makes a professional lighting control system stand out is its centralized control using dimmer panels. All dimming and control capabilities are routed through these remote panels that are installed out of sight in an equipment room or utility closet. Dimmer panels reduce wall clutter in individual rooms, cut down on the wiring infrastructure, allow for more complex programming capabilities and minimize the need for power boosters while also controlling fans and motors.

Smart Dimmers/Switches

Reduce your wall acne even further with smart dimmers and switches that incorporate complex commands and scenes. These luxury keypads replace banks of switches and dimmers to streamline your décor. Improve convenience with keypads that offer instant access to scenes, let you manage lights throughout the house and offer combined dimmer and switch control in one housing. Explore models fit for any décor with flush-mounted solutions featuring matte, metal or glass finishes in plentiful colors.

Craft a Beautiful Space with Light

Outfit your home with professional lighting design and control for illumination that ushers a new level of luxury into your every day. From design to installation, our lighting experts deliver white-glove service and unprecedented quality.
