Lighting Control Systems for Boca Raton Homes

Lighting Design


You chose the stone, the millwork, and the art with care. Lighting determines whether anyone notices them. Good lighting highlights architectural features, draws attention to high-end furnishings, and makes colors read true. The same lighting shapes your everyday life, lifting your mood and helping you get things done. As a lighting design company, we plan fixtures and lighting control together for homes in Boca Raton, Palm Beach, and Fort Lauderdale, FL.

Why hire a lighting designer?

Many homes leave lighting to the electrical engineer or the interior designer, and it shows. When lighting is a secondary job for another trade, it becomes an afterthought. We treat it as its own discipline. Because we also design and program the lighting control system, the same team plans the light and the controls from the start. If your project already includes a lighting designer, architect, or interior designer, we work alongside them.

  • 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


A room lit by one layer of ceiling cans strains your eyes, casts hard shadows, and feels rigid. We design with three layers, ambient, task, and accent, so each space stays balanced and can change with what you are doing in it.
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

    A "Party" scene brings the kitchen and living room lights to a white-blue hue that keeps guests energized through the night. Add landscape lighting to the scene to draw guests out to your outdoor spaces.

  • Movie Night

    A "Movie Night" scene on your handheld remote or touchpad turns your theater into the right viewing environment. It dims recessed lights and decorative sconces and turns on floor track lighting for safe movement during the movie.

Architectural Fixtures


Layered lighting only works when each fixture is chosen for its job, instead of defaulting to canned ceiling lights everywhere. Our designers mix high-end pendants, downlights, and track lights from a wide range of lighting fixtures to give your home even, layered light that adds depth and supports everything you do there. Here is the role each one plays.

Linear Pendants

Design-Forward Lighting

Pendants add a spark to your décor while handling ambient or task lighting, in a wide range of colors and finishes. Hang them from the ceiling on their own or within a track light system.

Downlights

Illumination without Clutter
When you want light without visible fixtures, downlights do most of the ambient work, and they can handle task or accent lighting too. Recessed or flush mounted in the ceiling, they come in round or square trims to match your décor.

Retrofit Downlights

Remodel without Limitations
Updating your lighting doesn't have to mean opening your ceilings. Our retrofit downlights have low-profile designs that fit most standard recessed housings. Choose from our collection of high-end tunable LED fixtures in round or square trims.

Track lighting

Bright, Versatile Spotlights
When you want to show off artwork or light up cabinetry, track lighting gives you adjustable spotlights on a track or rail system that you aim where you need them. Straight, round, and curved track models expand your style choices.

Smart Lighting Control Systems


A home with dozens of fixtures and a separate switch for each one isn’t embracing the full potential of lighting design and control. A smart lighting control system brings every fixture into one centralized platform, so you can effortlessly set the ambiance in each room and individually adjust accent lights to make your architecture shine. You control it all from a keypad, touch panel, or phone. We design and program these systems on Crestron, Lutron, and Control4, so you can choose which platform you prefer. Centralized control also means a cleaner installation with less clutter on your walls.

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.

Lighting and Shading, Controlled Together

In a South Florida home, daylight is part of the lighting plan. Motorized shades run on the same Crestron, Lutron, or Control4 system as your lights. One keypad press or scheduled scene can adjust both together, lowering shades against the afternoon sun while the lights come up to match. To explore shade styles, fabrics, and how we plan shading for your windows, visit our motorized shading systems page.

  • Create perfect light every time by integrating your motorized window treatments with your existing smart home system and adjusting shading and lighting systems together.
  • Automate your home by creating zones for various lighting needs throughout your living spaces.
  • Enjoy enhanced precision control as your shades rise and lower in unison, quietly and right on schedule.
  • Straightforward control means that anyone in the home can experience the simplicity that automated window treatments bring.

Crestron vs. Lutron vs. Control4 Lighting Control

Most clients ask us the same question early: which brand should run my lights? Each platform has real strengths. We are a Crestron Elite Pro, Lutron Gold, and Control4 Certified dealer, and we offer solutions from each of these brands. Your choice comes down to your home and how you want to live in it.

What are the benefits of Crestron lighting Control?
Crestron is built to unify many technologies at any scale. It fits homes where lighting is one part of a larger system that also runs shades, climate, audio, video, and security. With Crestron Home, you manage lighting from touch panels, handheld remotes, or a custom mobile app, adjust hues and intensity, and save your favorite light and climate settings to recall instantly.
What is Lutron lighting control known for?
Lutron specializes in lighting and shading. Its HomeWorks QSX system controls an unlimited number of integrated devices and fixtures through architectural keypads, dimmers, remote dimming panels, and occupancy sensors. It also works with Ketra tunable fixtures, which mimic the brightness and color temperature of natural daylight through the day. Lutron easily integrates into Crestron or Control4 platforms, so you can manage lights from the same device as the rest of your smart home equipment.
What are the strengths of Control4 lighting control?
Control4 offers centralized lighting control for new construction and renovations, plus wireless dimmers, switches, and keypads for existing homes, so you can upgrade without opening walls. Its When >> Then tool lets your lighting respond to the time of day, the seasons, and your routines. You can control it by keypad, touch panel, mobile app, or Amazon Alexa, and Control4 also works with Lutron.
How do we help you choose?
We start with the home: whether it is new construction or a retrofit, how many systems need to work together, and how you want to control your lights day to day. Our founder, Joe Griffin, is a certified programmer for Crestron, Control4, and Lutron, so we recommend the platform that fits your home rather than defaulting to one brand. If your builder, architect, or designer is already on the project, we plan alongside them.
