Keypads engraved to your needs.
Instead of a bank of switches by every door, there are a handful of scenes: morning, cooking, dinner, evening, away. Each one sets every circuit in the room to a level that was chosen deliberately.
- The house walked room by room, scene by scene.
- Levels set on site, at the right time of day.
- Fittings matched so dimming curves agree.
- Keypads engraved with words rather than symbols.
What lighting control includes.
Eight parts of the job, from the lighting design through to the engraving on the keypads.
Scene design
Levels chosen room by room, at the hour they will be used. Cooking, dining, evening and away, each one set on site rather than guessed at a desk.
Keypads and interfaces
Engraved keypads in finishes that match the ironmongery, placed where your hand already goes. An app as well, not instead.
Circadian and daylight tracking
Colour temperature that warms through the evening, and levels that respond to daylight, so the house feels right without anyone adjusting anything.
Architectural and cove lighting
Concealed linear lighting in coves, joinery and stairs, specified with the interior designer so the source stays hidden and the light does the work.
Exterior and garden lighting
Facade, tree and path lighting on astronomical timers, so the outside of the house looks considered at ten in the evening in December.
Retrofit or first fix
Wired control where the house is open and the routes exist, wireless where it is finished and the plaster is staying put.
Integration with blinds
Lighting and shading on the same scenes, so an evening scene closes the blinds and lifts the lamps in one press.
The right platform for the job
We are not tied to one manufacturer. Lutron, KNX, Basalte and Rako all do this well, and which one we specify depends on the size of the house, whether it is open or finished, and how you want to live in it. We will tell you which and why before anything is ordered.
Lighting projects across the North West.
Five stages, one team.
The same people survey the house, draw the system, install it and look after it afterwards. Nothing is subcontracted, and nothing is programmed by someone you have never met.
Consultation and survey
An hour or two at the property, looking at the rooms and listening to how you use them. We measure, photograph, and note what the building will and will not allow. No charge, and no obligation at the end of it.
Design and specification
Drawings, a schedule of equipment and a fixed price. Every position is marked, every cable route decided, and the specification is written so your architect, builder and electrician can all work from it.
Project management
We hold the programme alongside the other trades, from first fix to second. Across the Ribble Valley, Lancashire and Cheshire that usually means working around a builder who is already on site.
Installation and calibration
Our own engineers install, dress every cable, and then calibrate to the room rather than to a factory preset. Lighting control is set up in the space it lives in, at the time of day it will be used.
Handover and aftercare
A proper handover, documentation, and the same phone number afterwards. Remote monitoring catches most faults before you notice them, and the person who answers already knows your house.
Commercial lighting control for venues and offices.
A restaurant changes character four times a day and its lighting should change with it. Commercial lighting control gives a venue scene buttons behind the bar instead of a dimmer board nobody understands, with levels set by the designer and locked so they stay that way.
In retail and offices the case is usually daylight and energy: circadian schemes that track the sun, absence detection where rooms sit empty, and reporting that shows what the lighting actually costs to run. We install Lutron and KNX for both.
