Transform Your Space with Purposeful Lighting & Shading

Lighting Design

Designing a beautiful home is about more than choosing the right color palettes and furniture—lighting plays a vital role as well. Lighting design should highlight architectural features, bring attention to high-end furnishings and make colors stand out in your King of Prussia, PA home. That same lighting also serves to enhance your everyday life, boosting your mood and helping you accomplish important tasks. Hire a professional to optimize your lighting design and light control system for a luxurious lifestyle and residence.

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.

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.

Architectural Fixtures

For a successful layered lighting design to work, you’ll want to incorporate a wide range of lighting fixtures throughout your space rather than relying solely on canned ceiling lighting. Through a mixture of high-end pendants, downlights and track lights, our designers ensure even, layered lighting that adds depth and beauty to your home while facilitating all your everyday tasks. Explore how each model has a role in enhancing your overall space.

  • Linear Pendants

    Illumination without Clutter
    Downlights are primarily used for ambient lighting, though they’re also used for task or accent lighting in some applications. Recessed or flush mounted in the ceiling, they’re available in round or square trims to match your décor.

  • Retrofit Downlights

    Remodel without Limitations
    Replace outdated lighting fixtures seamlessly with retrofit downlights featuring low-profile designs that fit into most standard recessed housing. Select from our collection of high-end tunable LED fixtures available in round or square trims.

    Track lighting offers a flexible solution for your home’s accent and task lighting needs. Install adjustable spotlights on a track or rail system to showcase artwork or illuminate cabinets. Expand your stylistic choices with straight, round or curved track models.

Lighting Control

Effortless control is vital for unleashing the true potential of your lighting design. Easily manage the diverse fixtures in your King of Prussia or Bensalem, PA home with a light control system to develop beautiful layering while maintaining a uniform feel. 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 light 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 and motorized blinds in each room of your Pottstown, PA home—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.
