Layers of Light
Essential Layers of Light
Avoid the pitfalls of flat, one-dimensional lighting by combining ambient, task, and accent lighting for a visually balanced and versatile space.
Ambient Light
Illuminate entire rooms with gentle light from natural sources, overhead fixtures, or elegant pendants.
Task Lighting
Specialized fixtures like pendants, desk lamps, or under-cabinet lights provide targeted illumination for specific tasks.
Accent Lighting
Brighter, focused lighting spotlights artwork, decor, and architectural features.
Lighting scenes for every part of the day
Bedtime
A Bedtime scene dims the lights to a warm hue, helping you wind down and promoting restful sleep.
Entertaining
A Party scene brings vibrant light to the kitchen and living area, with landscape lighting to extend the mood outdoors.
Movie Night
A Movie Night scene dims the overhead lights and uses wall sconces and track lighting for the perfect cinema experience.
Retrofit & New Build
Downlights
Clean, recessed downlights that light a room evenly and disappear into the ceiling. We focus on architectural downlights and retrofits, not decorative fixtures.
Downlights
Primarily serving ambient needs, downlights also offer task and accent lighting. Recessed or flush mounted, they integrate into the ceiling with round or square trims to complement your decor.
Retrofit Downlights
Slim-profile retrofit downlights slide into nearly any standard recessed housing. Choose from tunable LED fixtures in round and square trims to upgrade your space without constraints.
Lighting Control
Lighting Control for Your Austin, TX Home
Cohesive control is essential to maximizing the impact of your lighting. Our systems let you manage and harmonize fixtures across your home from a single interface at the touch of a button.
Interfaces
Personalized interfaces on dedicated touchpads and mobile apps. Adjust intensity, color, and color temperature for individual fixtures or groups, save your favorite settings, and recall them with a tap.
Processor
The processor orchestrates communication between control devices and fixtures. Our specialists assess your needs and select a processor with the ideal bandwidth, so every command is executed instantly and precisely.
Panelized Lighting
Lighting hubs, tucked into an equipment room or utility closet, centralize all lighting controls. This eliminates excess switches and wiring, declutters your walls, and opens up advanced programming.
Smart Dimmers & Switches
Sleek keypads replace traditional arrays of switches, combining complex commands and custom scenes in one stylish unit. Choose flush-mounted options in matte, metal, or glass finishes and a wide range of colors.
