Increase Home Security

Scheduled shade movements make your house look occupied while you enjoy extended vacations away from home.

Match Interior Decor

Select from hundreds of designer fabrics, colors, and textures to complement your existing furniture and wall colors.

    Automated Lighting Control Systems


    Intuitive control makes every lighting fixture in your home easy to manage. Integrating lighting automation in Raleigh, NC, brings multiple lighting zones together through a simple, unified control system. Adding custom lighting control reduces wall clutter by replacing banks of switches with elegant keypads. With our smart lighting solutions, you’ll enjoy convenient control of every room through mobile apps and stylish wall keypads.

    Touch Interfaces

    Our advanced automation systems feature custom wall touchpads and simple smartphone apps. Check whole-house lighting statuses easily from intuitive visual menus that make adjustments simple. Change brightness levels, adjust warm color tones, and recall favorite lighting scenes using simple single-touch commands.

    Central Processor

    The primary system processor directs real-time communication between your touch controllers and light fixtures. Installing a powerful main processor prevents communication delays, providing instant responses every time you press a wall switch. Our design team selects the correct processor size based on your total system requirements.

    Centralized Dimming Panels

    Remote dimming panels centralize power distribution inside a central utility closet. Moving electrical equipment away from living spaces eliminates clutter on walls, simplifies wiring runs, and supports advanced scene programming. These power panels also manage ceiling fans and shade motors without requiring extra power boosters.

    Wall Keypads and Switches

    Clean up rowed wall switches by installing multi-button keypad controls. Custom keypads replace gang boxes of individual dimmers with clean, engraved buttons that trigger whole-room scenes. Choose custom faceplates featuring metal, glass, or matte finishes that match your home decor perfectly.

    Lighting Design


    Designing a fine home requires careful planning for the way light enhances your living areas. Investing in home lighting control allows custom fixtures to highlight architectural details, reveal the natural beauty of wood finishes, and showcase your artwork. Proper illumination supports everyday activities, creates a comfortable atmosphere, and complements your daily routine. Partner with our specialists in Raleigh, NC, to design a lighting system tailored to your home and lifestyle.

    Building Balanced Light Layers


    Single-source lighting creates dark room corners, causes eye strain, and flattens interior features. Combining ambient, task, and accent fixtures creates balanced, flexible living spaces across your home.

    Ambient Illumination

    Fill entire rooms using gentle light from ceiling fixtures, large windows, or architectural pendants.

    Direct Task Light

    Focused desk lamps, kitchen pendants, and under-cabinet fixtures deliver crisp light for detailed work.

    Dedicated Accent Light

    Showcase cherished artwork and fine architectural trim with targeted fixtures brighter than ambient light.

    • Entertaining

      Host neighborhood friends easily using a preset party scene that illuminates kitchen counters and patio areas. Bright welcoming tones encourage easy conversation while highlighting your outdoor living areas.
